2.3 Study Guide Flashcards
What happens with electrons during ionic bonds?
they are transferred between the atoms
What happens with electrons during polar covalent bonds?
they are shared unequally between the atoms
What happens with electrons during non polar covalent bonds?
What is an ionic bond?
bond formed between a metal and non-metal
What is a covalent bond?
bond formed between two non-metals
What is the difference between a polar and non polar covalent bond?
When given two of the same atom, what type of bond will form between them and why?
Explain how electronegativity determines what type of bond two atoms will form
when the electronegativity is stronger then the pull will be stronger so it non-polar
Share electrons
covalent bond
Transfer electrons
ionic bond
Share electrons equally
polar covalent bond
What is electronegativity?
the ability of an atom to attract from another atom while in compound
Share electrons unequally
non polar covalent bond
What is polarity?
the separation of electric charge
