Chemical Bonding, Properties and Structure - Chemical Bonds Flashcards
1
Q
What are the 3 types of strong chemical bonds
A
ionic, covalent and metallic
2
Q
What is the type of ions for each type of bonding
A
1) For ionic bonding, the particles are oppositely charged ions
2) For covalent bonding the particles are atoms which share pairs of electrons
3) For metallic bonding the particles are atoms which share de-localised electrons
3
Q
When does ionic bonding occur
A
it occurs when metals are combined with non metals
4
Q
when does covalent bonding occur
A
most non-metallic elements and in non-metal compounds
5
Q
when does metallic bonding occur
A
in metallic elements and alloys
6
Q
what do you use to explain chemical bonding
A
electrostatic forces and the transfer/sharing of electrons
