Chemical Bonding Flashcards
definition of ionic bonding
electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions
definition of covalent bonding
pair of electrons are shared between two atoms
definition of metallic bonding
electrostatic attraction between delocalised electrons and metal ions
definition of electronegativity
the ability of an atom to attract the bond pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond

dative covalent bonding
one atom provides both the electrons needed for a covalent bond
order of repulsion
lone pair-lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair
intermolecular forces
vanderwaals/permanent dipole-dipole/hydrogen bonding
increase vander waals with..
number of electrons and contact points
