Chemical Bonding

QuestionAnswer
bonding ~ always involves the valance e- ~elemnents bond to become stable. ~simultaneous attraction or an e- to two nuclei
energy changes in bonding ~forming a bond releases energy. ~to break a bond energy must be absorbed ~potential energy is stored in a bond.
ionic bond ~tranfer of energy ~electroneg. difference is larger. ~occurs between a metal and nonmetal.
covalent bond ~sharemof energy ~electroneg. difference is smaller ~occurs between a nonmetal and nonmetal.
metallic bond ~"sea of mobile e-" (moving) ~occurs in PURE METALS.
molecules and compounds ~only atoms held by covalent bonds are called molecules. ~compounds can be either ionic or covalent bonds.
polar covalent bond ~unequal sharing of electrons because one element has a higher electron than the other. ~occurs between nonmetals.
non polar covalent bonding ~equal sharing or electrons because this bond is between same atoms-(diatomics) ~ Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, F2
ionic configuration STEPS: 1.how the electron config. for an ion. 2. place the e- config. in brackets and give charge. 3. atoms form ions to get a noble gas config. ( >5 atomic #5 get an octet )
polyatomic ions (see Table E in Ref. T.)
ionic character is measured by calculating the electroneg. difference. (ignore subscripts, subtract to get the highest number. the higher the e- difference, the more ionic the character)
dot diagrams for ionic compounds ~Begin with e- dot diagrams for the elements in a compound. ~show electron TRANSFER with arrow, show resulting change. ~use many of each atom as needed so stable octet (or duet) is achieved.
structural formulas for covalent molecules (non metals only) ~show the shape of the molecule. ~use a dash to equal one bond (1 pair of shared elecrons). ~how many bonds does each member of groups 14,15,16, and 17 make?
molecular shape (non metals only) bent, pyramidal, tetrahedral, linear.
dot diagram for covalent molecules ~begin with a structural formula for the molecule. ~replace each dash with a dot and X to indicate a pair of shared electrons. ~check to see that each element in the molecule has an octet (or duet, for atomic numbers 1-5)
distributing molecular charge (non metals only) ~draw the structural formula for the molecule. ~take each bond between atoms one at a time. ~the element with the higher electroneg. gets a neg. charge, and the element with the lower electroneg. gets a pos. charge.
polar molecules polar MOLECULES have opposite charges at the ends of asymmetry of charge.
S.N.A.P. symmetrical-nonpolar, asymmetrical-polar

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
