study guide Flashcards
The forces btwn atoms that create chemical bonds are the = of interactions btwn
electrons
Which one has a high boiling point, an Ionic or covalent compound?
Ionic
What happens to the energy level and stability of two bonded atoms when they are separate and become individual atoms?
stability decreases and potential energy increases
What is the chemical bonds in a solid substance is a excellent conductor of electricity?
metallic, bc valence e- are mobile
Describe formation of a covalent bond
e- are shared
describe formation of an ionic bond
e- are transferred from one atom to another
describe metallic bonds
sea of e-‘s and free floating valence e- attracted to their positively charged metal ions
Diff between INTRAmolecular forces and INTERmoleculear forces
Intra- forces within molecules due to covalent bonds (stronger)
INTER- forces btwn molecules due to their attraction
What type of intermolecular force accounts for water’s high boiling point
the strength present of hydrogen bonds between water molecules (has strongest intermolecular force = high boiling point)
How are hydrogen bonds different than regular dipole-dipole forces
it is the strongest force and are between N, O, F
