Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Ionic bonding
A
Between a metal and non-metal, metal loses an electron to form +ve ions and non metals gain electrons to form -ve ions
2
Q
Giant ionic lattice
A
The electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions forming a giant ionic lattice
3
Q
Covalent bonding
A
Forms between non metal atoms and is formed when atoms share electrons and the bonding can be defined as wither giant covalent or simple covalent.
4
Q
Co-ordinate bonding
A
A shared pair of electrons in which both electrons come from the same atom (behave the same as ordinary covalent bonds)
