Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Where does polar covalent sit on the spectrum
Spectrum is between ionic and non polar covalent
Polar is In he.middle
Types of bonding
Metallic
Ionic
Non polar covalent
Polar covalent
From non polar covalent to ionic
There is increasing electro negativity
Increasing polarity
What is useful. Predicting the bonds strategy
Difference. Electro negativity
What is a dative covalent bond
Identical to other covalent bond when formed but this is when one atom provides both electrons for the bond ( different formation)
Example of forming a dative covalent bond
Ammonia picking up a hydrogen to form ammonium
Hydrogen has no electrons
Both electrons come firm lone pair in ammonia
What are Lewis dot diagrams used for
Representing bonding and non bonding electron pairs as Polyatomic ions
