W2 General Chemistry Flashcards
are forces of attraction that exist
between a positive ion and a negative
ion or between molecules.
Chemical Bonds
- an atom other than hydrogen tends to
form bonds until it is surrounded by
eight electrons.
Octet Rule
According to ______ * atoms combine to achieve a more stable
electron configuration.
GLIBERT LEWIS
Maximum stability results when an atom is _______ with a noble gas
isoelectronic
3 Types of Interatomic Bond
*Ionic bond
* Covalent bond
* Metallic bond
Ionic bond aka ____
Electrovalent Bond
formed by the transfer of electrons
from an atom of low ionization
energy (alkali and alkaline earth
metal) to a more electronegative
element (halogen and oxygen)
IONIC BOND
bond in which two electrons are
shared between atoms
Covalent Bond
–formed when
electrons are shared equally
between two atoms with the same
or almost the same
electronegativity
Covalent compounds
Non-bonding pairs are called ____
LONE PAIRS
pairs of valence electrons that
are not involve in covalent bond formation
LONE PAIRS
This is formed from sharing of electrons
between two atoms with different
electronegativity.
Polar Covalent Bond
the ability of an atom to attract toward itself
the electrons in a chemical bond.
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
property that helps us distinguish a nonpolar
covalent bond from a polar covalent bond
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
A bond formed wherein one
furnishes both the bonding pair of
electrons.
Coordinate Covalent Bond
