an atom does this to become a cation
Lose an electron
this number of these determines if the atom will bond with another
valence electrons
a covalent bond forms between these types of elements
nonmetals
This is the correct order of multiple bonds from weakest to strongest.
single, double, triple
an atom does this to become an anion
gain an electron
the number of valence electrons for group 16
6
Ionic bonds form between these types of elements
Metals and nonmetals
this is what happens to electrons in a covalent bond
they are shared
Metallic bonds are formed by the attraction between ________ and the _________ that are around them.
Metallic bonds are formed by the attraction between POSITIVE METAL IONS and the ELECTRONS that are around then.
the oxidation state for the nitrogen family
-3 or 3-
this group will not form bonds because of its full octet
group 18 or noble gases
when deciding whether a compound is ionic or covalent, this should be an immediate indicator that it is ionic
the first element will be a metal
electrons in a covalent bond are attracted to the element with the higher value of this
electronegativity
This is the number of sigma and pi bonds in a double bond
1 sigma 1 pi
This is the reason why two positive ions would typically not make bonds
alike charges are not attracted to each other.
the number of valence electrons for aluminum
3
True or False: We draw Lewis Dot Diagrams for Ionic Bonds
False
this is another term for a covalent bond
molecular (bond or compound)
This is the only reason a multiple bond is ever used
if one element does not have a full valence shell
this is the chemical formula for perphosphate
PO5 -3
because of their valence electrons, these elements prefer to never be alone (Name all of them)
Br2 I2 N2 Cl2 H2 O2 F2
These are two qualities of substances that are bonded by ionic bonds
They are hard, brittle, and have high melting points.
These are the only elements that can triple bond
carbon and nitrogen
3 sigma 2 pi
