chapter 2 Flashcards
ionic bonding
+&- ions (metal and nonmetal) coming together.
the bond is non-directional
covalent bonding
sharing of one or more electrons in valence shells
the bond is directional
increase electronegativity (which direction)?
northeast
the greater the distance in electronegativity ->
the greater the ionic bond
three types of bonding
metallic, ionic, covalent
metallic bonding
ion cores glued with sea of valence electrons
______ bonding conducts electricity
metallic (sea of free electrons)
______ bonding is thermal and electically insulative
ionic and covalent (large absence of free electrons)
secondary bonding
often a result of dipoles. these are weak bonds.
characterized of very low melting/boiling temps.
