Chemical Bonding
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Ionic Bond. | A bond that forms between two atoms resulting in oppositely charged ions. On atom gains electrons while another atom loses them. Happens between a metal and a non metal |
Covalent | Share valence electrons. between 2 non-metals. |
Electronegativity | Measures an atom's attraction for shared electrons and is a combination of ionization energy and electron affinity. |
Bond Length | The distance between the nuclei of both atoms. If you have more than 50 percent covalent bonding then you must use the covalent radius |
Percent ionic or covalent | Take the electronegativity of both elements Subtract them find percent ionic then subtract the ionic percent from 100 |
