Unit 2-Compounds and Bonding

Ionic Bonds

Ionic Bonds

Formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal.

Electronegativity

The ability of an atom to attract shared electrons (how much the element wants electrons around it) (13 year- old girls at 1D, mor protons= more boys in band), increases from left to right.

Non Polar Covalent Bonds

Formed by equal (or nearly equal) sharing of electrons between two nonmetal or metalloid atoms.

Polar Covalent Bonds

Formed by uneven sharing of electrons between two nonmetals or metalloids.

Non-Polar Covalent Bonds

Formed by equal (or nearly equal) sharing of electrons between two nonmetal or metalloid atoms

Polar Covalent Bonds

Formed by uneven sharing of electrons between two nonmetals or metalloids

Ionic Bonds

Formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal

What makes Polarity

asymmetrical electron distribution around the molecule (different electronegativity)
