Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Attractive force between two atoms holding them together to form a molecule or a chemical compound.
Forces that link together atoms to form different kinds of matter.
CHEMICAL BOND
Electrons located in the outermost energy level
Plays a crucial role in formation of chemical bonds
VALENCE ELECTRONS
states that hydrogen and helium may have no more than two electrons in their valence shells.
DUET RULE
In forming chemical bonds, main group elements gain, lose , or share electrons to achieve configuration in which they are surrounded by eight valence electrons
OCTET RULE
there is an electron transfer between two atoms
metal with non-metal
In an ionic bond, the positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to negatively charged ion (anion).
IONIC BOND
Formed by a shared pair of electrons between two atoms.
Chemical bond formed when valence electrons are shared by nonmetal elements
COVALENT BOND
Types of Covalent Bonds
Polar Covalent Bond
Non-polar Covalent Bond
A bond that has an even distribution of charge due to an equal sharing of bonding electrons
Non-polar Covalent Bond
Polar Covalent Bond - type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms.
Polar Covalent Bond
“sea of electrons”
Positively charged metal nuclei arranged in a lattice.
Electrons move, more or less, freely throughout the whole lattice.
Free movement allows metals to conduct electricity
METALLIC BOND
