Definitions- Ionic bonding up to electrons (first 7 powerpoints) Flashcards
Electrostatic attraction
The attraction between a positive and negative ion, causing them to stay together, as in ionic bonding
Isoelectronic
having the same electronic structure as another element
Daitive coordinate bond
A bond where one atom/ ion doesn’t bring any electrons to the pair e.g. when an ammonia molecule gains a hydrogen ion/proton. —->
Electron deficiency
where an atoms outer shell is not full e.g. BF3
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory
molecules take up the shape that minimises repulsion between electron pairs within the molecule
Electronegativity
the ability of an atom in a covalent bond to attract the shared bonded pair of electrons
Polar bond
a covalent bond where there is a separation of charges. one atom is more electronegative than the other so it attracts the shared pair of electrons more than the other atom
Polar molecule
a molecule with two poles (positive and negative)
Permanent dipole dipole attraction
the attraction between two polar molecules
Intermolecular forces
attractions between one molecule and another
Hydrogen bonding
where theres a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine atom, and a lone pair of electrons present— strong type of permanent dipole attraction
