2.3 Types of Bonds Flashcards
1
Q
When is an atom most stable?
A
With a full valence shell
2
Q
Non-polar covalent
A
bonding electrons shared equally between two atoms
3
Q
Polar covalent
A
bonding electrons shared unequally between two atoms
4
Q
Ionic Bonding
A
metal and non-metal
5
Q
What happens during Ionic bonding?
A
The non-metal loses electrons while the metal gains electrons
6
Q
Covalent Bonding
A
Non-metal and non-metal
7
Q
Large difference in electronegativity
A
Ionic Bond
8
Q
Small difference in electronegativity
A
Covalent Bond
9
Q
Between 0.4 and 1.7
A
Polar Covalent
10
Q
Between a chlorine atom and a potassium atom, which bond will form and why?
A
Ionic because it is a non-metal and a metal and the electronegativity difference is larger
