Q

Difference between Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds?

A

In a Polar Covalent Bond, one of the nonmetals takes most of the electrons while Nonpolar Covalent Bonds share electrons equally (or almost)

Q

What is Metallic Bonding?

A

Type of bond between metals where valence electrons float around (sea of electrons)

More free electrons conduct electricity better.

Q

What is a Substitional Alloy?

A

Atoms that substitute the positions of other elements in the alloy. (fits in and takes their spot)

Ex: Brass, zinc atoms substite some copper atoms. Possible because atoms are both similar in size and charge.

Q

What is an Interstitial Alloy?

A

Where smaller atoms stick into spaces between the larger atoms.

Ex; Steel, Carbon atoms fit inside the cracks between Iron atoms. Makes compound harder and tougher.

Q

How to find Formal Charge?

A

subtract the number of non-bonding electrons and half the number of bonded electrons from the number of its valence electrons.

Is this too confusing?
