Ionic Bond | the force of attraction between positive and negative ions |
covalent bond | a pair of shared electrons between two atoms is called a covalent bonds - elements that are hear each other - weaker than ionic bonds, can be broken easily |
polar covalent bonds | a covalent bond in which the electron are shared unequally |
molecule | a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds |
metallic bonds | the equal sharing allows the electrons to move easily among the atoms. |
What are 3 forms of carbon? | diamond, graphite, fullerene |
Why does a mixture of sodium and chloride and water conduct electricity but a sodium chloride crystal does not? | sodium chloride is an ionic bond so it needs water to conduct electricity, water has minerals but sodium chloride doesn't have minerals so it needs water to conduct electricity. |
What are most substances? | compounds |
When does an atom become a positive ion? | loses an electron to another atom. Will give up or take along with its charge. Lewis dot structure. Use periodic table. Atoms with 4 valence cango either way |
Metallic bonds make many metals | good conductors of electricity |
oxidation nuimber | amounbt of electrons in an atom |
