Q

Define covalent bond.

A
  • Electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the positively charged nucleus
  • Generally occur between non-metals
  • Atoms with similar EN are likely to form a covalent bond (same affinity for electrons, no tendency to donate electrons)

16
Q

Describe characteristics of alloys.

A
  • Contain more than one metal

  • Atoms of different sizes ➜ Difficult for layers of positive ions to slide over each other
17
Q

Define cations.

A

Atoms that lose electrons and have a positive net charge (Positive ions)

18
Q

Define anions.

A

Atoms that gain electrons and therefore have a negative net charge (negative ions)

19
Q

Define bond length.

A
  • Distance between two bonded nuclei
  • Decreases as the number of electron pairs increases because there is a greater attractive force between the two nuclei
20
Q

Define bond strength.

A
  • The energy required to break the bond, described in terms of bond enthalpy
  • Increases as the number of electron pairs increases, as more energy is required to break them
