quiz 11/7 Flashcards
Nonpolar-covalent bonding
Electronegativity difference ranges from 0 to (less than or equal to) 0.3
Nonpolar-covalent bonding
equal sharing with similar electronegativity, pulls on electrons similarly
Polar covalent bonding
electronegativity difference ranges from 0.3-1.7
Polar covalent bonding
unequal sharing of electrons
If the difference of electronegativity is greater than or equal to 1.7 it is…
ionic
Covalent bonding is usually between
nonmetals
Ionic bonding is usually between
metals and nonmetals
Covalent bonding is the
sharing of electrons
Ionic bonding is the
transfer of electrons
Metallic bonding is the
delocalize of electrons
VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory)
explains why molecules take the shapes they do and
Symmetrical compounds are
nonpolar
Compounds that have an unshared pair of electrons or aren’t symmetrical are
polar
Ionic compounds are soluble in
water but not in nonpolar liquids
Ionic compounds are
solid-hard crystals, cannot bend
Ionic compounds
conduct electricity when melted or dissolved
