Chem 115 Review Flashcards
Iconic bond
Transfer of electrons
Held together through electrostatic interactions
Metal + nonmetal
Ionic compounds dissolve in water
Covalent Bond
Sharing of electrons
Two nonmetals
Electron with the more electronegative atom
Is the following an e.g. of ionic bond or covalent bond?
NaF
Ionic
Is the following an e.g. of covalent or ionic bond?
SiS2
Covalent
Dipole moment
Describes polarity of the bond (separation of charge between atoms)
Do polar or nonpolar molecules have a dipole moment?
Polar molecules
Not nonpolar because bonds are not polar or because the sum of the dipoles of all bonds in molecule cancel out
Polyatomic ions
Two or more covalently bound atoms with an overall net charge
As a unit they form ionic bonds and generally behave like other cations/ anions
Within ion, the atoms are covalently bound to each other (stay as a unit in solution)
