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 |
