Q

What kind of elements bond from ionic bonding?

A

Metal and nonmetal

17
Q

The force that drives attraction between electrons

A

Coulombic force (Coulombs law)

18
Q

Sharing electrons with similar electronegativities

A

Covalent bonding

19
Q

Dominate bonding between non metal atoms

A

Covalent

20
Q

is covalent bonding directional?

A

Yes

21
Q

Bonding that involves electron sharing and is nondirectional; valence electrons are loosely held by their parent nucleus and are attracted by surrounding nuclei

A

Metallic bonding

22
Q

Basis of high electrical conductivity

A

De-localized electrons (can move freely)

23
Q

Bonding that occurs without electron transfer

A

Secondary bonding

24
Q

How can fluctuating dipoles occur?

A

Asymmetric electron clouds

25
Q

When is melting temperature large

A

when the energy level is large

26
Q

When is the coefficient of thermal expansion larger?

A

If the energy is smaller

27
Q

Where does secondary bonding mostly take place?

A

Polymers
