Question | Answer |
what happens to the electrons in ionic bonding | electrons are exchanged |
octet rule | electrons will be lost or gained to fill the highest level with 8 electrons |
which element is an exception of the octet rule and why | hydrogen; its orbital only fills up to 2 electrons at most |
valence e- | the e- found in the highest (outer) energy levels; responsible for bonding |
true or false: an atom has a fixed radius | false |
what is the length of the atomic radius? | 1/2 the distance between the nuclei of joined atoms |
what happens to cations and anions when losing an electron? | cations get smaller, anions get larger (needs to be more negative charge to make up for the loss of the e- and balance the cations?) |
what happens to the size of the atoms when there are more electrons? | same charges repel=more repulsion in the atom; e- push away and the atom size expands |
(+ ?): the lewis dot structure follows which rule? | Hund's rule; each orbital is singly occupied before doubly occupied. Always remember: e- are LAZY |
electrostatic forces | the attraction btwn positive and negative charges |
salt | an ionic compound |
what does the electrostatic force do? | it holds the elctrons on an atom and holds cations and anions together |
Properties of ionic bonds | crystal patterns as solids, hard&brittle, can conduct electricity when dissolved in water |
give a description of metallic bonds | cations with their valence electrons floating in btwn them |
why does an ionic bond compound break when dropped but a metallic bond not break when dropped (at an angle?) | ionics have a pattern of orderly alternating positive and negative atoms; metallics do not have an orderly arrangement of positives and negatives |
properties of metallic bonds | crystalline structure, conduct electricity, malleable, ductile, shiny, can form alloys |
alloy | mixtures of 2 or more metals (corrosion resistant, hard, tough) -properties of the mixture are superior to those of the component elements |
ionic radius | changes size depending on if it gains or loses electrons |
ionic compound have a high or low melting pt? | high (>500F) |
