Chemical Bonding (topic 4) Flashcards
What does BARF stand for?
Break a bond by Absorbing energy, Release energy when you Form a bond.
Which two atoms full shells only contain 2 valence electrons?
Hydrogen and Helium.
What rule do bonds between atoms work to achieve?
The octet rule.
What three things will atoms do with electrons to achieve a full outer shell?
Lose, gain, or share electrons.
You cannot have a single metallic bond. True or false?
True
In metallic bonds what happens to the electrons?
They move all around the metal, sea of electrons.
Examples of a metallic crystal.
Copper, silver, gold, brass
What metals are metallic substances made from?
Transition metals
Metallic substances have low melting and boiling points. True or false?
False
How do Ionic bonds form? What to they result in?
When a metal transfers own or more electrons to a non metal. This results in an ion.
Where do ion-ion electrostatic forces occur?
Ionic compounds.
Which structure is a part of ionic bonding?
Crystal lattice
Example of crystal lattice.
Salt crystals.
Ionic substances are conductors in a solid state. True or false?
False
Ionic substances are good conductors in solutions. True or false?
True
Do ionic substances have high melting and boiling points? If so why?
Yes, because of ion-ion forces.
Ionic substances dissolve is polar substances. True or false?
True (water is polar and salt is ionic)
How do covalent bonds form? What has to be the electronegativity difference?
Formed when to non metals share electrons. Electronegativity difference has to be less than 2.0.
What is a coordinate covalent bond ?
A covalent bond that forms when both electrons come from the same atom.
What is a non polar bond?
A bond with equal sharing of electrons due to atoms participating in the bond, having the same electronegativities.
