what happens to electrons with ionic bonds?

they are transferred from cation (+) to anion (-)

New cards
3

are all 3 bond types electrically neutral?

yes

New cards
4

how are ionic bonds held?

they are held together by electrostatic forces

New cards

in what state(s) are ionic bonds not conductive in?

solid state

New cards
10

what are covalent bonds made up of?

two nonmetals

New cards
11

what happens to electrons in covalent bonds?

they are shared between atoms

New cards
12

how are covalent bonds held together?

by shared electrons and intermolecular forces (IMFs)

New cards
13

what is the melting point of covalent bonds?

low melting point (-260-400)

New cards
14

what is the hardness of covalent bonds?

they are brittle

New cards
15

what does being polar mean?

being soluable in water

New cards
16

what does being nonpolar mean?

not soluable

New cards
17

do covalent bonds conduct electricity?

no; the solid does not conduct

New cards
18

how do atoms move in a covalent bond?

they move around

New cards
19

what are metallic bonds made up of?

all metal atoms

New cards
20

metallic bonds can be either…

uniform or alloy

New cards
21

what happens to electrons in metallic bonds?

they travel freely around. “sea of electrons”

New cards
22

how are metallic bonds held together?

by delocalized electrons

New cards
23

what is the melting point of metallic bonds?

variable melting point

New cards
24

at standard pressure and room temperature, what do most metallic bonds form?

solids

New cards
25

are metallic bonds soluable or not soluable?

not soluable

in what state(s) are metallic bonds conductive in?

molten and solid

New cards
27

what do metallic bonds exhibit?

luster/shiny

New cards
28

what is special about metallic bonds that does not apply to ionic or covalent bonds?

they are ductile and malleable

New cards
29

what is a bond with an electronegativity difference of 1.7 or higher?

ionicw

New cards

what bond ranges from an ionic character of 0.4-1.6?

polar covalent

New cards
31

what bond ranges from an ionic character of 0.0-0.3?

nonpolar covalent

New cards
32

what is the octect rule?

s and p orbitals must total 8

New cards
33

the octect rule makes an element isoelectronic. what does that mean

it has the same electron configuration of its previous noble gas

New cards
34

what are the exceptions to the octect rule?

hydrogen (2) and boron (6)

New cards
35

what are dipoles?

polar bonds

New cards

37

what type of bond has the most energy, is the strongest, and shortest?

triple bonds

New cards
38

what is a coordinate covalent bond?

a type of SINGLE bond where both electrons are supplied by ONE element

New cards
39

what are lone pairs?

valence electron pairs that aren’t part of a bond

New cards
40

what is the VSEPR theory used for?

to make 3d orientations of molecules

New cards
41

what do electrons want to do to each other?

they want to repel each other and have maximum space between atoms

New cards
42

what are isomers?

compounds with same molecular formula but different structure

New cards
43

what are STRUCTURAL isomers?

they have a different covalent organization/arrangement

New cards
44

what are GEOMETRIC isomers?

they have the same amount of covalent bonds but differ in spatial arrangements?

45

what are ENANTIOMERS isomers?

they mirror images of each other
