unit 1.4 bonding Flashcards
what is the different types of bonding?
ionic,covalent+metallic
how are bonds represented?
dot + cross diagrams in which the outer electrons of 1 atom forming bond = shown as dots or open circles
covalent bonding?
each atom gives 1 electron to the single bond pair having opposed spins
co ordinate bonding?
a covalent bond in which both electrons come from the same atom as NH4+
ionic bonding?
1 atom gives one or more electrons to the other + the resulting cation + anion attract one another electrically. usually, there are many ions together in a solid lattice
energy = needed to form the ions from atoms but this = more than repaid by the strong electrical attraction between cation and snion
attractive + repulsive forces
electronegativity?
measure of the ability of an atom in a covalent bond to attract the electron bonding pair
