Types of Chemical Bonds
The attraction between various combinations of atoms will produce these kinds of bonds which form molecules.
Ionic compounds always contain these 2 ions.
What are positive and negative ions?
These are made by combining 2 or more metallic elements.
What is an alloy?
The dots in a Lewis dot diagram represent these.
What are valence electrons?
This is the formula to find formal charge.
# of valence electrons - # of lone and shared electrons
What are Noble Gases?
An ionic compound can be identified by this in its formula.
What is a metal or nonmetal?
They are good conductors of electricity, malleable, and ductile.
What are the properties of metallic bonds?
What is the shape of Br2?
Linear.
The atoms in a molecule can be assembled differently when drawing a Lewis diagram because of this.
What are formal charges?
The reaction of a metal and a nonmetal form this kind of bond.
What is an ionic bond?
Why are ionic compounds generally stable?
The attractions between cations and anions within ionic compounds are strong.
What is the shape of CH4?
Tetrahedral.
This is how you can tell which structure is more likely to form formal structures.
What is the formal charge closest to 0?
What is electronegativity difference?
What is the formula of an ionic compound?
This determines the amount of electrons delocalized in the sea of electrons.
What is the number of valence electrons.
What is the shape of CH2O?
Trigonal planer.
Any molecule that can have double or triple bonds located between different atoms.
What are resonance structures?
This bond is a chemical bond between atoms with smaller electronegativities in which valence electrons are shared.
What are covalent bonds?
If a ionic compound contains a metal with a charge that differs in other compounds, this is why the charge of the metal needs to be specified in the name of the compound.
What is the metal can form more than 1 kind of cation?
The attractions become greater when this happens.
What happens when the charge of the cations and number of electrons increase?
Only these types of bonds are allowed in Lewis dot diagrams.
What are covalent bonds?
You add an electron to the total number when this happens.
What do you do when there is a negative charge in from of an ion?
