Intramolecular Forces Flashcards
1
Q
Intermolecular Bond
A
A weak force of attraction between molecules, ions or atoms of a noble gas
2
Q
Intramolecular Bond
A
A bond between atoms within molecules
3
Q
A covalent bond
A
A sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms
4
Q
Ionic bond
A
A transfer of electrons with subsequent electrostatic attraction
5
Q
Metallic bond
A
Between a positive kernel and a sea of delocalised electrons
6
Q
Valency
A
The number of electrons an atom must gain, lose or share to complete its outermost energy level
7
Q
Electronegativity
A
The measure of the tendency of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons
8
Q
Non Polar Covalent
A
An equal sharing of electrons
9
Q
Polar Covalent
A
An unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming (as a result of electronegativity difference)
