Chemical Bonding
Question | Answer |
---|---|
the joining of atoms to form new substances | chemical bonding |
a force of attraction that holds two atoms together | chemical bond |
the electrons on the outermost energy level of an atom | valence electrons |
How many valence electrons does a silicon atom have? | 4 |
Predict how atoms with 5 valence electrons will achieve a full set of valence electrons? | They will share or gain 3 electrons |
the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions | ionic bond |
charged particles that form during chemical changes when one or more valence electrons transfer from one atom to another | ions |
a repeating 3-dimensional pattern of ions | crystal lattice |
the force of attraction between the nuclei of atoms and the electrons shared by the atoms | covalent bond |
a neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds | molecule |
the force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and the electrons in a metal | metallic bond |
How does an atom become a negative ion? | by gaining one or more electrons |
What are the properties of ionic properties? | high melting point; high boiling point; tend to be hard, brittle solids at room temperature |
What happens to electrons in covalent bonding? | they are shared between atoms |
What type of element is most likely to form covalent bonds? | nonmetals |
