science chem Flashcards
smallest unit of an element that retains its properties
molecules
Atoms May gain or lose elections , can be positive cat or negative onion
Ion
attractive forces that hold atoms together
chemical bonding
results from the attraction of electrobs of nuclei for electrons
chemical bonding
major types of bonds
mettalic,ionic, covalent
must account for the physical properties
ductile,conductive, uniform, malleable etc..
mettalic bonds
transferring one or more electrons forming ions
ionic bonds
simplest and loest whole number ratio of ions
formula unit
sharing of electronss, bonds between 2 or more non metals
covalent bond
when 2 nuclei share electrons, difference in electro negativity between 2 atoms
covalent
electronegativity 1.7 or greater bond is
ionic
electronegtivity less than 1.7 bond is?
covalent
combination of active metals as n and H although the difference of elevctronegativity is 12 the bond is stil ionic
exception
same electronegativity shared equally and holds diatomic particles
non polar covalent
2 different values of electronegativity
polar covalent
