Q2: Lesson 3 | Chemical Bonding Flashcards
transfer of electrons between metals and non metals
ionic bonding
sharing of electrons between two nonmetals
covalent bonding
two bonded elements. formed by two or more different elements that is chemically bonded
compound
most stable elements
group 8 (noble gases)
the most stable valence electron
8
when it has more protons
cations
when it has more electrons
anions
force that holds atoms together in a molecule or compound
chemical bond
crystals
hard brittle solids
very high melting/boiling point
good conductor of heat & electricity
ionic compound
solid, liquid, gas
brittle and weak
low melting/boiling point
poor conductor of heat & electricity
covalent compounds
ions are held together by electrostatic forces
ionic compound
forces between oppositely charged ions
electrostatic forces
atoms are held together by covalent bonds in which electrons are shared
molecular compounds
unequal sharing of electrons
polar covalent
equal sharing (no transfer) of electrons
nonpolar covalent
metal is
positive
nonmetal is
negative
