Unit 1 Test Flashcards
- Transfers electrons
- metals-> cations: nonmetals-> anions
- electronegativity difference >1.8
Ionic Bond
- electrons are shared unequally
- electronegativity difference >0.5 but
Polar Covalent
- electrons are shared equally
- electronegativity difference
Nonpolar Covalent
two bonded atoms gives a rough measure of the polarity of the bond
The absolute value of the electronegativity
force that holds groups of 2 or more atoms together and makes them function
Bond
the amount of energy that it takes to break the bond
Bond energy
the type of bonding that transfers electrons
ionic bonding
metals react with non-metals
ionic compound
type of bond where they share electrons
Covalent bonding
electrons are shared but are different and unequal
polar covalent bond
what happens when 2 H+1 atoms are close
they attract each others nuclei
unequal sharing of electrons between 2 atoms
electronegativity
when the electronegativity between atoms are 0 then
- the bond type is covalent
- covalent character is at the max
- ionic character is at its lowest
when the electronegativity between 2 atoms is intermediate then
- the bond type is polar covalent
- the covalent character is in the middle but it increases
- ionic character is in the middle and increases
when the electronegativity difference between 2 bonding atoms is large then
- the bond type is ionic
- covalent character is the lowest
- the ionic character is the highest
