Exam #2 Flashcards
Ionic bonds happen between a ___ and a ____
Metal; nonmetal
Covalent bonds happen between a. _____ and a _____
Nonmetal; metalloid
Metallic bonds happen between ____.
Metals
Oppositely charged particles are
held together by _____ _____ between the
particles
Electrostatic attractions
When negatively charged atom is attracted to positively charged atom OR a positively charged atom is attracted to a negatively charged atom:
Electrostatic attraction
A bond that results from the electrostatic attraction of a cation to an anion
Ionic bond
When does an ionic bond form?
When ions have reached maximum stability.
Ionic solids consist of 3D array of solids called
crystal lattice
A bond that is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons equally
Covalent bond
Energy required to break a bond and form two fragments, each w/ one electron of the original shared pair:
Bond dissociation
Average of all bond-dissociation energies of a single type of bond in a given molecule
Bond energy
Unequal sharing causes _____ covalent, and equal sharing causes _______ covalent
Polar; nonpolar
A measure of an atom’s ability to attract shared electrons to itself
Electronegativity
Nonpolar covalent values:
Polar covalent values:
Ionic values:
Nonpolar: X < 0.4
Polar: 0.4 < X < 2.0
Ionic: X > 2.0
3 steps to naming binary moelcular compounds of MAIN GROUP ELEMENTS:
1) 1st word = 1st name in formula
2) 2nd name element ending to -ide
3) Prefix to indicate no. of atom
2 steps to naming binary ionic compounds of main group elements
1) 1st word = cation
2) 2nd word = anion, ends w/ -ide
Why is naming binary ionic compounds different from main group elements to transition metals?
We need to distinguish between the cations with different charges using roman numerals.
