Physical Science Quiz 8 Flashcards
Hydrogen and Alkali metals are in what group
group 1 `
one outer electron; highly reactive- wants to get rid of one electron
Hydrogen and Alkali metals (group 1)
Halogens are in what group
group 7
salt “former” with metals; 7 outer electrons; highly reactive- wants to gain one electron
Halogens
few electrons in valence shell; lose electrons to make a lower shell the valence shell
metals
many electrons in valence shell; gain electrons to fill the valence shell
Non-metals
the closer the electrons are to the nucleus what happens
the tighter they are held
Atoms sharing electrons with specific atoms (marriage); typically happens to non-metals
Covalent Bonding
atoms transferring electrons becoming ions; metal and non-metal
Ionic bonds
charged particles
ions
Metallic atoms releasing their electrons to be shared with all other atoms in an “electron sea”
Metallic bonds
why do Nobel gasses form no bonds
because they already have 8 valence electrons
Sharing of electrons to obtain 8 valence electrons as the orbitals of two non-metal overlap
Covalent Bonding
Atoms are uniquely bonded to each other creating
molecules
Molecules become polar when there is
an uneven sharing of electrons across the molecules
one or more electrons are transmitted from a metal to a non-metal (most of the time)
Ionic Bonding
are metals cations or anions
cations
are non-metals cations or anions
anions
Ions each have how many valence electrons
8
molecules that have lost or gained electrons that take part in ionic bonds
Polyatomic Ions
