Define Ion
An atom that has a charge
What is Ionic bonding?
Its when electrons are transferred to have a full outer shell. takes place between a metal and non-metal.
What is covalent bonding?
Its when electrons are shared so the atom has a full outer shell. Happens between a non-metal and non-metal.
What is metallic bonding?
The metallic bond is the force of attraction between delocalized electrons and positive metal ions.
All halogens exist in a…
Diatomic state
What is the difference between intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces?
Intermolecular force is the force between molecules that hold them together. Intramolecular forces are the forces between atoms. The force that holds atoms together
Cation
Positively charged ion
Anion
negativily charged ion
Why are metals good conductors?
Because they have delocalized electrons
