Studied by 2 peoplestability
is gained when sublevels are completely or half-filled with electrons
full sublevels
offer more stability than half-filled sublevels
ionic bonds (metal and nonmetal)
EN > 1.7
complete donation occurs
why ionic bonds are not true bonds
the elements in an ionic compound are only held together due to electrostatic charge attraction (coulombic force) between the ions
no orbitals are overlapping or hybridizing

polar covalent bonds (nonmetal & nonmetal)
EN 0.35-1.7
shared unevenly between the two atoms, results in partial charges forming on each atom
non-polar covalent bonds (nonmetal & nonmetal)
EN 0-0.35
even pull on electrons, even sharing of electrons and no charges
