Chemical Bond
|
a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds atoms together
|
|
Ionic Bonding
|
chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions
|
|
Covalent Bonding
|
results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms
|
|
Atoms share electron pairs to form independant molecules
|
Covalent Bonding
|
|
Atoms transfer electrons, resulting in positive and negative ions due to mutual electrical attraction
|
Ionic Bonding
|
|
Electronegativity of an Ionic Bond
|
1.7 - 3.3 (50 - 100%)
|
|
Electronegativity of a Polar-Covalent Bond
|
0.3 - 1.7 (5 - 50%)
|
|
Electronegativity of a Nonpolar-Covalent Bond
|
0 - 0.3 (0 - 5%)
|
|
Nonpolar-covalent Bond
|
a covalent bond in which the bonding of electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge
|
|
Polar
|
uneven distribution of charge
|
|
Polar-Covalent Bond
|
a covalent bond in which the donded atoms have an equal attraction for the shared electrons
|
|
Molecule
|
a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds
|
|
