Introduction To Bonding Flashcards
The joining of 2 atoms in a stable arrangement
Bonding
2 kinds of bonding
Ionic and covalent
This bond results from the transfer of electrons
Ionic bonds
This bond result from the sharing of electrons between 2 atoms
Covalent
Ionic bonds form between
Metals and nonmetals
How does a covalent bond form?
When 2 nonmetals combine or when a metalloid bonds to a non metal
A compound or element containing two or more atoms joined together with covalent bonds
Molecule
Are charged species in which the number of protons and electrons in an atom is unequal
Ions
Consists if oppositely charged ions that have a stronghold electrostatic attraction for each other
Ionic compounds
This type of ions is positively charged. It has fewer electrons that protons
Cations
These are negatively charged ions. It has more electrons than protons
Anions
Losing electrons forms _____. Gaining electrons forms _____
Cations, anions
A main groot element is stable when it possesses an ____ of electrons in its outer shell
Octet (the Octet rule)
The sum of the charges in an ionic compound must be ____ overall
Zero
Ionic compounds are ______ solids with very ___ melting point and boiling point
Crystalline; high
What happens when ionic compounds dissolve in water?
They separate into cations and anions
When ionic compounds dissolve in water, it increases the _______ of the solution
Conductivity
It is a cation or anion that contains more than one atom
Polyatomic ion
