Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure Flashcards
What are the physical properties used to replace damaged tissue?
strength, durability, polarity
this is the nature of electrical charges on surfaces
polarity
this is the ability of material to interact biologically without triggering an immune response
biocompatibility
the greater the difference in metallic/nonmetallic properties, the more likely it is a compound will be ___
ionic
this is formed by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions
ionic bond
Ionic compounds form __ and __.
metals and nonmetals
In the formation of cations with np6 electronic configuration, metals in the s and p blocks have __ ionization energies.
low
large jumps in ionization energy occur when ____ an electron from an np6 electronic configuration
removing
these are smaller than their corresponding neutral atoms
cations
___ electrons reduces electron electron repulsion
losing
remaining electrons are ____ bound to the nucleus
more tightly
these can form cations with more than one possible charge
transition metals
they first lose electrons from the s subshell
transition metals
common example of ions that are stable
Fe^2+ and Fe^3+
in the formation of anions with an np6 electronic configuration, ___ have negative electron affinities
nonmetals
these are larger than their corresponding neutral atoms
anions
___ electrons increases electron electron repulsion
gaining
valence electrons are _____ bound to the nucleus
less tightly
________ increases from left to right across a period
number of protons
____ decrease in size from left to right across the periodic table
cations and anions
____ are held more tightly from left to right across a period, resulting in smaller ions
electrons
energy input to form the cation is _____ by energy released by forming the anion.
not offset
electron affinites for nonmetals are _____
negative
forming an ionic bond between a ___ and ___ usually required energy
