Types Of Bonding Flashcards
What elements bond in ionic bonding?
Non metals and metals
What elements bond in covalent bonding?
Non metals
What elements bond in metallic bonding?
Metals
What happens during ionic bonding?
Electrons move from the outer shell of the metal to the outer shell of the non metal.
What happens to the metal in ionic bonding?
It loses electrons and becomes positively charged
What happens to the non metal in ionic bonding?
It gains electrons and becomes negatively charged.
Why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?
The ions are arranged in a regular lattice, and held together by strong forces of attraction within this. This means a lot of force is required to break them apart.
What happens during metallic bonding?
Positive metal ions are surrounded by delocalised electrons that move in between the regular layers.
What happens in covalent bonding?
A shared pair of electrons between non metals from the outer shell.
