Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Ionic Bond
metal + nonmetal - transfer of electrons
Covalent Bond
nonmetal + nonmetal - sharing of electrons
Metallic Bond
metal + metal - “sea of mobile electrons”
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
two atoms that share electrons EQUALLY
Polar Covalent Bond
two atoms that share electrons UNEQUALLY
Nonpolar Covalent Molecule
a group of nonmetal atoms that is symmetrical
Polar Covalent Molecule
a group of nonmetal atoms that is asymmetrical
Single Covalent Bond
one pair of electrons are shared
Double Covalent Bond
two pairs of electrons are shared
Triple Covalent Bond
three pairs of electrons are shared
Network Solid
nonmetal atoms are covalently bonded in a continuous network
Dipole - Dipole Forces
inter-molecular force between two polar molecules
London Dispersion Forces (Van Der Waal)
inter-molecular force between two nonpolar molecules
Hydrogen ‘Bonding’ Force
inter-molecular force between two polar molecules consisting of H bonded to N, O, or F
Chemical Bond
the transfer or sharing of electrons between two atoms such that a noble gas configuration is achieved (eight is great)
