Chemical Bonds Quiz 1 Flashcards
when a new bond is formed, energy is (released/absorbed)
RELEASED - making it an exothermic process
when a bond is broken, energy is (released/absorbed)
ABSORBED- making it an endothermic process
IT TAKES ENERGY TO BREAK A BOND
!!!!
when does bonding occur?
when electrons are shared or transferred between atoms (all about valence electrons!!)
the number of valence electrons involved determines the bonding ratio
life hack: CRISS CROSS oxidation states with subscripts
Metallic Bonds
occur between metals
Ionic Bonds
transfer of electrons between metals and non metals
Covalent Bonds (x2)
sharing of electrons between nonmetals (two types: polar covalent and non polar covalent)
_____atoms are surrounded by a sea of mobile electrons. this free electron behavior accounts for conductivity and magnetism.
METAL
why are metallic bonds possible?
because metals have very few valence electrons with low ionization energies.
why are metals malleable?
because the atoms are free to move to new locations while the “sea” of electrons still surround them.
what does an IONIC BOND result from?
the attraction between two oppositely charged ions (metal and nm)
example: sodium and chlorine
what are ionic compounds?
crystal lattices of positive and negative ions
ALL COMPOUNDS WITH POLYATOMIC IONS HAVE BOTH COVALENT AND IONIC BONDING!!
!!!!
what are ANIONS?
(ionic bonds) negatively charged- non metals and most polyatomic ions
