Elements and Compounds pt 2 (lecture 4) Flashcards
The formation and function of molecule and ionic compounds depend
on chemical bonding between atoms
atoms with incomplete valance shells can
share or transfer valence electrons with certain other atoms
Chemical bonds are
the interactions that usually result in atoms staying close together, and are held by attractions
A covalent bond is
the sharing of a pair of valance electrons by 2 atoms
in a covalent bon, the shared electrons count as
part of each atoms valence shell
A molecule consist or
2 or more atoms of the same element held together by covalent bonds
A single covalent bond (single bond) is
the sharing of one pair of valence electrons
A double covalent bond (double bond) is
the sharing of 2 pairs of valence electrons
Covalent bonds can form between
atoms of the same element or atoms of different elements
A compound is
a combination of two or more different elements
An ionic bons is
a metal atom that loses 1 or more electrons to a nonmetal atom
A covalent bond is
when two nonmetal atoms share electrons
A hydrogen bon
attracts an electronegative atom electrostatistically
metallic bond
positive metal ions attract conducting electrons
Strong bonds
ionic bonds, covalent bond, coordinate bond, metallic bond
Weak bonds
hydrogen bond, van der walls interaction
