Nonpolar covalent bonds: Electrons __________
Shared equally
Polar covalent bonds: Electrons __________
Shared unequally
Ion-ion interaction: Electrons __________
Transferred
Metal has ________ electronegativity and non-metal has ________ electronegativity.
Low, high
Metals form ________, non-metals form ________.
Cations, anions
Ionic compounds are ________.
neutral
Complex ionic compounds contain a _________.
polyatomic ion
Which is bigger?
A. Na atom
B. Na+ cation
C. Same
B
Which is bigger?
A. Cl atom
B. Cl– anion
C. Same
B
_________
_________ charged.
Smaller than corresponding atom.
Simple _________ formed when metals lose electrons (ie elements with low electronegativity).
Charge usually corresponds to loss of electrons back to “core” which is less stable – loss of electrons always requires energy.
Cations, positively
_________
_________ charged.
Larger than corresponding atom.
Simple _________ formed when non-metals gain electrons (ie elements with high electronegativity).
Charge usually corresponds to gain of electrons to the next filled (sub) shell (ie noble gas configuration)
Anions, negatively
