Chemical Bonding Flashcards
alloy
A mixture of metals that acts like a metallic bond
anion
negatively charged particle
cation
positively charged particle
chemical bond
a force that holds atoms together in a compound
conductivity
The ability to allow heat or electricity to pass through an object
covalent bond
A chemical bond created by the sharing of electrons
ductility
the ability to be drawn into a wire
Elctronegatjvity
an atoms ability to attract electrons
ion
a charged particle
ionic bond
a chemical bond created by the attraction between cations and anions whew electrons are exchanged
luster
shininess
malleability
ability to change shape without breaking
metallic bond
a chemical bond formed when the sea of de localized electrons flows between metal atoms
oxidation number
the charge an Tom has when it becomes an ion
polar covalent bond
a covalent bond where electrons are not shared equally
Polyatomic ion
an ion contacting multiple atoms covalent,y bonded
salt
common name for ionic compounds
Lewis dot structure
Diagrams showing the number of paired and unpaired electrons in a compound
VSEPR model
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Model
Compare and contrast ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding
Ionic-transferring electrons
Covalent-sharing electrons
Metallic-bonding with the “sea” of electrons
How can you tell from a chemical formula if a compound is ionic or covalent
Ionic- metal and non metal
Covalent- two or more nonmetal
