Types of Chemical Bondings (EXAM)

Question 1

● metal and nonmetal

● electron transfer; valence electrons of a metallic element are transferred to the atom of nonmetals

● often observed between atoms with large differences in their tendencies to lose or gain electrons

Answer 1

Ionic Bonding

Question 2

when electrons transfer from
metal to nonmetal, each atom
forms an ___ with a noble gas electron
configuration

Answer 2

ion (charged particle)

Question 3

Types of Ions:

___ - positively charged ions

___ - negatively charged ions

Answer 3

cations

anions

Question 4

● nonmetals

● electron sharing; little difference in the tendencies of atoms to gain or lose electrons.

Answer 4

Covalent Bonding

Question 5

localized between the two atoms, linking them in a covalent bond of a particular length and strength

Answer 5

Shared Electron Pairs

Question 6

● exists between metallic elements

● metallic atoms pool their valence electrons into a “sea” of electrons that “flows” between and around each metal-ion core

● a strong, attractive force between atoms of a metallic element

Answer 6

Metallic Bonding

Question 7

high ionization energy and highly negative electron affinity

Answer 7

Nonmetals

Question 8

relatively large atoms with few outer electrons that are well shielded by its core electrons.
○ low ionization energy
○ slightly positive or negative electron affinity

Answer 8

Metals
