Chemistry Flashcards
Define Chemical Bond
Attraction between atoms as a result of simultaneous attraction between the nuclei and outer electrons
Define Covalent Bond:
Sharing of electrons between two atoms to form a molecule
Define Non polar covalent bond:
Bond in which there’s an equal distribution of charges
Define polar covalent bond:
Bond in which there’s an unequal distribution of charges
What is an ionic bond?
Bond whereby electrons are transferred from one atom to another
Ionic bonds occur between which two groups/types of elements
Metals and Nonmetals
∆EN for ionic bonds
∆EN>2.1
∆EN for strong polar covalent bonds
∆EN>1
∆EN for weak polar covalent bonds
∆EN<1
∆EN for non polar covalent bonds
∆EN≤0.4
∆EN for polar covalent bonds
∆EN≥0.5
Define Bond energy:
Amount of energy needed to break down a molecule
Define Bond Length:
Average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms
List 5 types of IMF’s
- Strong Hydrogen bond
- Ion dipole
- Dipole dipole
- Induced dipole
- Induced dipole induced dipole
Which is the strongest IMF
