chapter 9 Flashcards
maximum stability occurs when an atom is isoelectronic with
a noble gas
ionic bonding
electron transferred, left give up, right gain
covalent bonding
e- shared
polar covalent
unequal sharing
nonpolar covalent
sharing is equal
lattice energy
stability of an ionic solid and the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid into gaseous ions
the higher the lattice energy…
The higher the stability
to break bonds,
energy must be added
to form bonds,
energy is released
electronegativity
ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself in a chemical bond
electronegativity trend
highest on top right
two atoms with the same charge increase in energy as they get
closer
two atoms with opposite charges increase in energy as they get
farther
