Chemical Bonding

QuestionAnswer
force that holds 2 atoms together because the resulting compound is more stable chemical bond
valence electrons combine to satisfy the octet rule by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons. Satisfying octet rule gives it a noble gas configuration chemical bond
positively charged because electrons lost, mainly metals, reactivity of metals is bases on how easily they lose electrons cations
noble gas configuration with the d sublevel filled pseudo-noble gas configuration
negatively charged because electrons gained, mainly nonmetals, gain electrons to form noble gas configuration, have "-ide" suffix anions
electrons transferred from metal to nonmetal. After the transfer, atoms get a charge (ion) and ions are held together by Coulombic attraction formation of ionic bonding
force of attraction/repulsion between opposite/same charge electrostatic force
ionic compound between a metal and a nonmetal salt
ionic compound between a metal and oxygen oxide
Why do ionic compounds form They form because the compound is more stable than the individual particles and loses the extra energy
reaction gives off energy exothermic
name for lost energy, always has a negative value because it is lost, smaller ions & those with a higher charge have a stronger attraction, absolute value = more negative, smaller ions can get closer lattice energy
What are the properties of Ionic compounds crystalline structure, crystals are hard and brittle, high melting and boiling point, generally soluble in water, (aq) good conductors of electricity, (solvent) poor conductor of electricity
Why do ionic compounds form a crystalline structure? cations and anions balance out electrostatic forces
how metals exist, each atom gives all valence electrons (+ some "d" electrons), and cations float in the "sea of electrons" formation of metallic bonding
electrons that are contributed to the "sea". The "bond" is the attraction of cations to delocalized electrons
What are the properties of metals? moderately high melting and boiling point, malleable, ductile, good conductors of electricity, can form alloys (mixture of metals), the more delocalized electrons = make them harder
What is the formation of covalent bonding? 2 nonmetals share electrons to satisfy octet rule, molecule = compound with covalent bond, electrons are shared in pairs, single, double, triple, the more shared pairs, the shorter and stronger the bond
1 shared pair single bond
2 shared pairs double bond
3 shared pairs triple bond
What are the properties of a covalent compound? low melting and boiling point, many are gases at normal temperature pressure, can form soft solids or crystal solids like wax and sugar, nonconductors of electricity and heat

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.
