Chemical Bonds Flashcards
What are the three types of strong chemical bonds?
lonic, covalent, and metallic.
What are the particles involved in ionic bonding?
Oppositely charged ions.
What are the particles involved in covalent bonding?
Atoms sharing pairs of electrons.
What are the particles involved in metallic bonding?
Atoms sharing delocalized electrons.
Where does ionic bonding occur?
In compounds formed from metals combined with non-metals.
Where does covalent bonding occur?
In most non-metallic elements and compounds of non-metals.
Where does metallic bonding occur?
In metallic elements and alloys.
What should students be able to explain about chemical bonding?
Explain it in terms of electrostatic forces and the transfer or sharing of electrons.
