Electronegativity
Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
Electronegativity
Electronegativity is a measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
Permanent dipole
A permanent dipole is a small charge difference across a bond that results from a difference across a bond that results from a difference in the electronegativies of the bonded atoms.
Permanent dipole
A permanent dipole is a small charge difference across a bond that results from a difference across a bond that results from a difference in the electronegativies of the bonded atoms.
Permanent dipole
A permanent dipole is a small charge difference across a bond resulting from a difference in electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
A polar covalent bond
A polar covalent bond has a permanent dipole.
An intermolecular force
An intermolecular force is an attractive force between neighbouring molecules. Intermolecular forces can be van der Waals’ forces, permanent dipole-dipole forces or hydrogen bonds.
A permanent dipole-dipole force
A permanent dipole-dipole force is a weak attractive force between permanent dipoles in neighbouring polar molecules.
Van der Waals’ forces
van der Waals’ forces are attractive forces between induced dipoles in neighbouring molecules.
A hydrogen bond
A hydrogen bond is strong dipole-dipole attraction between:
- an electron-deficient hydrogen atom (O-H, N-H) on one molecule; and a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom (H-O or H-N) on a different molecule.
Metallic bonding
Metallic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons.
Delocalised electrons
Delocalised electrons are shared between more than two atoms.
A giant metallic lattice
A giant metallic lattice is a three-dimensional structure of positive ions and delocalised electrons,bonded together by strong metallic bonds.
A simple molecular lattice
A simple molecular lattice is a three-dimensional structure of molecules, bonded together by weak intermolecular forces.
