#1
Front (Question)

Ionic bonds

Back (Answer)

transfer e- between elements with large difference in electronegativity. Usually metal with nonmetal. (Although polyatomic ions can be made with all nonmetals)

#2
Front (Question)

Covalent bonds

Back (Answer)

sharing of electrons between two elements with similar electronegativity. Usually between two NON-metals

#3
Front (Question)

cations

Back (Answer)

positively charges atoms

#4
Front (Question)

anions

Back (Answer)

negatively charged atoms

#5
Front (Question)

atoms that have a charge on them are called?

Back (Answer)

ion (cation+ and anion-)

#6
Front (Question)

ionic compounds

Back (Answer)

metal and nonmetal. Typically the metal gives away its e- to a nonmetal

#7
Front (Question)

are polyatomic ions ionic or molecular compounds when they bond together?

Back (Answer)

ionic compounds even though they don’t contain metals. They are the exceptions

#8
Front (Question)

molecular compounds

Back (Answer)

nonmetal and nonmetal bond. They SHARE their e- 1) Shared evenly there is no charge -Nonpolar Covalent Bonds 2) Shared unevenly there is partial negative and positive charges charges -Polar Covalent Bonds

#9
Front (Question)

Electronegativity increases what way on periodic table?

Back (Answer)

Increases as you move up and to the right on the periodic table (exclude noble gases)

#10
Front (Question)

How do molecular compounds decide what atom gets more of a positive charge and more of a negative charge?

Back (Answer)

Whichever atom has a larger electronegativity, will get the partially negative charge.

#11
Front (Question)

Polar Covalent bonds?

Back (Answer)

partial negative and positive charges on atoms Ex: water, O partially- and H partially+

#12
Front (Question)

Nonpolar Covalent bonds?

Back (Answer)

When nonmetal atoms bonded together do NOT have significant electronegativity difference between them so they do NOT have partial charges

#13
Front (Question)

Ionic bond properties

Back (Answer)

high MP, high BP, brittle, hard, kept together by ionic interactions (lattice energy) Ex: NaCl, MgO

#14
Front (Question)

Molecular bond properties

Back (Answer)

low MP, do not conduct electricity, kept together by intermolecular forces Ex: H20 (polar), Cl2 (nonpolar)

#15
Front (Question)

network covalent bond properties

Back (Answer)

high MP, high BP, hard, do not conduct electricity Ex: C (diamond, graphite), SiO2 (quartz)

#16
Front (Question)

Metallic bond properties

Back (Answer)

metal and metal bonded together 1) variable hardness and MP depending on metals 2) conduct electricity 3) lustrous (shiny) 4) malleable 5) ductile

#17
Front (Question)

octet rule

Back (Answer)

Every atom wants to feel like it has 8 e-

#18
Front (Question)

The farther apart on the periodic table that elements in a covalent bond are, the ore likely they will be nonpolar or polar?

Back (Answer)

Polar. elements closer together have more similar electronegativity and will be nonpolar
