Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Resonance
A
Experimental data shows that there are several answers to lewis dot diagrams
Both are identical
2
Q
Coordinate covalent bonds
A
When an atom contributes both electrons to form a bond
3
Q
Electronegativity
A
The measure of an elements ability to hold its atoms in its chemical bond
4
Q
What does higher electrnegativty result in
A
Greater attraction and smaller atom size
5
Q
What happens when e- is far
A
Harder to hold onto and lower electronegativity
6
Q
Non polar covalent
A
When electrons are equally shared
ED = 0
7
Q
Slight Polar covalent
A
EN = 0.1-0.5
8
Q
