UNIT TWO Flashcards
how is a Ionic Bond formed
forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
lone pairs
valence electrons that are left unshared
double bond
represents four shared electrons
triple bond
represents six shared electrons
nonmetal traits
higher elecronegativities that metals, has 5,6,7 or 8 valence electrons
metallic bonding
results in the attraction between metals atoms
ionic compound
consists of many bonds between positive and negative ions
an ionic bond
a transfer of electrons form the less electronegative atom to the more electronegative
polar covalent
there is a small difference in electronegativity, atoms share electrons unevenly
covalent bond
two atoms share their valence electrons
non-polar bond
two atoms are from them same element, their electronegativity is 0
electronegativity
a measure of attraction that an atom has for electrons it shared with a molecule
ionization energy
energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom
a metal
is an element which is typically hard, shiny, fusible, malleable, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.
a nonmetal
is an element that does not have the properties of a metal.
