chem test Flashcards
what are the three types of strong chemical bonds?
->ionic
->covalent
->metallic
For ionic bonding the particles are…..
oppositely charged ions
For covalent bonding the particles are…..
atoms which share pairs of electrons.
For metallic bonding the particles are…..
atoms which share delocalised electrons
where does ionic bonding occur?
Ionic bonding occurs in compounds formed from metals combined with non-metals.
where does metallic bonding occur?
Metallic bonding occurs in metallic elements and alloys.
where does covalent bonding occur?
Covalent bonding occurs in most non-metallic elements and in compounds of non-metals.
Describe ionic bonding:
->When a metal atom reacts with a non-metal atom
->electrons in the outer shell of the metal atom are transferred.
->Metal atoms lose electrons to become positively charged ions. ->Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become negatively charged ions.
Describe a giant ionic compound
->Giant ionic compounds have regular structures
->in which there are strong electrostatic forces
->in all directions
->between oppositely charged ions
->in the lattice
Name an example of a gaint ionic compound
->sodium chloride
limitations of models
Describe covalent bonding
->A covalent bond
->is a strong bond
->involving two non-metal atoms
->sharing pairs of electrons.
