Term 4: Atomic Bonding Flashcards
Ion
Results from ionic bonding were the atom has a charge
Isotope
When an atom has a different number of neutrons
Ionic Bonding
This form of bonding involves the trading of atoms between elements so as to achieve a full valence shell.
Has a stronger connection than covalent bonding. Crystal Lattice Structure.
Covalent Bonding
A form of bonding that occurs between two non-metals. This form of bond involves atoms sharing the electrons rather than giving them away. So both atoms “have” the electrons and use them to achieve a full valence shell.
Valence Electron
The amount of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom
Electron Shell
Within an atom of an element there are multiple orbitals where the electrons constantly move
Period
Rows on the periodic table where elements have the same number of electron shells.
Group
Columns on the periodic table that contains elements that share the same number of electrons needed to achieve a full valence shell.
Orbital
A function used to describe the places where a given electron is likely to be. According to Bohr model but apparently incorrect which leads to quantum physics.
Compound
Two different elements that are chemically bonded to eachother.
Metallic Bonding
Metals release a cloud of electrons but stay together as they are surrounded by electrons and the negative forces counteract the need for them to get away from the other metals nearby. Lattice Structure
How do transition metals interact in ionic compounds.
They can have a different charge, but the roman numeral tells us the charge of a particular molecule of said metal. Certain metals can only be a set charge, such as gold and silver.
Polyatomic Anions
An anion that contains more than just one non-metal, generally speaking it is a non-metal like nitrogen and oxygen, creating negatively charged anions like nitrate and nitrite.
-ide suffix
A suffix used to describe a singular atomic anion
-ate suffix
A suffix used to describe a polyatomic anion that has the maximum amount of oxygen it could possibly have
