Chemistry final Flashcards
Chemical Bond
attractons between nuclei of one atom and the valence electrons of another atom
Ionic bond
Transfer electrons
Metal and nonmetal
Cation
Positive ion
Anion
Negative ion
Octet rule
Atoms must have 8 valence electrons
Polyatomic ions
2 or more different atoms covalently bonded together with an overall charge
Transition metal ions
Capable of forming more than one cation with a different ionic charge
ex: Iron(II), Fe(OH)2
Lattice energy
Energy required to completely separate a solid ionic compound into ions.
Ionic solids
Composed of cations and anions held together by electrostatic forces
ex: (CsCl) (ZnS)
Conductivity
Allows charged particles to flow through it with out significant resistance
Metallic solids
Solids composed of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds
Metallic bonds
Bond between metals
Interstitial Alloys
Different metal occupies interstitial spaces (holes) in the lattice structure (Fill in)
Substitutional Alloys
Atoms of one metal are substituted by atoms of another metal (Substitute)
Covalent bonding
Metal+nonmetal
