Chemicals bonding Flashcards
Define electronegativity:
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
What is an intramolecular bond?
An intramolecular bond is a bond that occurs between atoms within molecules.
Define an ionic bond:
An ionic bond is a transfer of electrons and subsequent electrostatic attraction.
Define a covalent bond:
A covalent bond is the sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metals.
What is a pure covalent bond?
A pure covalent bond is an equal sharing of electrons.
What is a metallic bond?
A metallic bond is the bond between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalized electrons.
What is an intermolecular force?
An intermolecular force is weak force of attraction between molecules, ions, or atoms of noble gasses.
