T2: Bonding and Structure Flashcards
ionic bonding
the strong electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions
depends on ionic size and charge
covalent bonding
the strong electrostatic attraction between two nuclei and the shared pair of electrons between them
metallic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between metal ions and delocalised electrons
dative covalent bond
occurs when one atom donates both electrons in a bond
e.g. in NH4+ or H3O+ ions

electronegativity
the ability of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond
sigma bond
bond resulting from direct overlap of orbitals
pi bond
bond resulting from two orbitals overlapping sideways
