Unit 1- Structure And Bonding Flashcards
What bond does two elements with the same electronegativities form
Pure covalent/ non-polar covalent
What bonding does two non metals with slightly different electronegativities form
Polar covalent
What bond does two elements with very large electronegativities form
Ionic
What are ionic bonds usually formed of
A metal and non metal
What is an ionic bond
The electrostatic force of attraction between a metal ion and non metal ion
Describe the bonding continuum
Pure/non-polar covalent
Polar covalent
Ionic
Describe elements with ionic bonding’s mp and conductivity
High mp
Conducts when molten or in a solution
What are the forces between molecules called
Overall name
Intermolecular
How many types of Van Der Waals forces are there
Three
What is the weakest of all Van Der Waals forces
London dispersion forces
LDF are found in monatomic elements and molecular elements
True or false
True
What are LDFs caused by
An uneven distribution of electrons within an atom
What is a dipole
A term used to describe molecules which unequal distribution of charge results in one side of the molecule becomes slightly positively charged and the other side becomes slightly negatively charged
What is a polar molecule
A molecule with a permanent dipole
For a molecule to be positive what are the two conditions
Must have polar covalent bonds
Must be able to draw a line through it so on one side it is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged
