Chemical Bonds Flashcards
What happens with electrons during ionic bonds?
They transfer
What happens with electrons during polar covalent bonds?
They’re shared unequally
What happens with nonpolar covalent bonds?
They are shared equally
Ionic bond properties
Happens between a nonmetal and a metal atom which transfer electrons.
What are properties of covalent bonds?
A bonding of a nonmetal and another nonmetal, which share electrons.
Polar covalent bond
2 opposite ends and share unequally
Nonpolar covalent bond
2 same ends that share electrons equally
What type of bond is NaCl?
Ionic because it’s a metal and a nonmetal
What type of bond is CH?
A polar bond because it’s two different nonmetals together
What type of bond will form with two atoms that are different but are bonded together and both have high electro negativity’s?
Polar Covalent bond
What type of bond will form with two atoms that are the same but are bonded together and both have high electro negativity’s?
A nonpolar covalent bond
What type of bond will form with two atoms that are a nonmetal and a metal but are bonded together and one has a high electronegativity and the other has a low electronegativity?
An ionic bond
