Covalent Bonding Quiz Review Flashcards
Reviewing for my first chem test of the year :) 2024
Metals tend to have _____ valence e-
Less
Non-Metals tend to have _____ valence e-
More
What is an Ion?
Negatively or Positively charged atoms
Cation? Anion?
Cation: Positively charged atom
Anion: Negatively charged atom
Think cat and onion
Metals will lose electrons to form ____
Positive Ions
Non-Metals will gain electrons to form ____
Negative Ions
What is the Octect Rule?
Tendency for an atom to have a valence shell of 8 electrons
Notation for Ions?
The number is ALWAYS written first! Ex: Mg^2+
Notation for Oxidation?
The charge is ALWAYS written first! Ex: O^+2
Is this written correctly? Li^+1
NO! It’s dumb to show the number 1 right next to the charge. It’s like saying 1x in math. Like we know there’s one x….
What is a polyatomic Ion??
Ions that consist of more than one atom
What is a covalent bond?
When valence electrons are shared between two NON-METAL atoms
Why do atoms share valence electrons?
To fulfill their octet (Octect Rule)
When 2 hydrogen atoms overlap, where is their bond located?
S orbital
When should I use the word molecule?
Only associated to elements and compound bonded COVALENTLY. Group of atoms that can exist covalently!
EX: CO2 molecules in a fire extinguisher- they all exist separately from each other.
Ionic compounds are found in a _____ ______ structure
crystal lattice
All of our Diatomic molecules are ____ bonded
Covalently
Name some diatomic molecules!
I Bought Chairs For Our New Home!
Iodine, Bromine, Chlorine, Fluorine, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen
EXIST AS PAIRS!!!! (so H2, Br2, F2)
Molecular Compounds are divided into 2 categories. Name them
Organic and Inorganic
