Physical Science 18

QuestionAnswer
Octet rule atoms are less stable without valence electrons, so they have a tendency to bond to fill their outer level with 8 electrons
Chemical bond force that holds atoms together by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons (how atoms pair up to help complete the 8 valence electrons)
Electronegativity ability to attract and hold electrons when bonded to other atoms (related to electron affinity; based on fluorine)
Low electronegativity metals; few valence electrons
High electronegativity nonmetals; almost 8 valence electrons
Electronegativity helps us determine the types of atoms which will bond and what type of bond they will form
Covalent share electrons; usually between nonmetals
Ionic gain or lose electrons; usually between metals and nonmetals
Metallic “share” electrons; usually between metals
Numbered subscripts how many of each atom is bonded
Covalent bonds force of attraction formed as a result of sharing electrons; elements share electrons molecules; exists only between two atoms
Polyatomic molecules more than two atoms covalently bonded
Properties of covalent bonds not as strong as ionic bonding; low melting point; gases or liquids in standard conditions(some solids); melt or decompose at a low temperature; not good conductors
Polarity determined by the difference in attraction for the electrons between the atoms covalently bonded; difference in electronegativity between bonded elements
Nonpolar no difference between electro negativities; only diatomic molecules of the same elements; equally shared
Polar large difference in electronegativities; unequally shared
Ionic attraction formed between oppositely charged ions in an ionic compound; big EN; electrons play favorites; gain or lose electrons; opposites attract
Cation positive ion
Anion negative ion
Properties of ionic bonds solids at room temperature; high melting points; dissolve in water; good conductor
Metallic bonds positive metal ions immersed in a sea of negative electrons
Properties of metallic bonds solids at room temperature; malleability(can be hammered); ductility(ability to be made into wire); good conductors of heat and electricity; shiny luster

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.
