Unit 4 Bonding
covalent bond
covalent bonds form between diatomic molecules and they have identical atoms.
what are covalent bonds friendly???
covalent bonds are friendly bonds because the atoms involved in the bond share electrons.
what do covalent bonds share???
Covalent bonds share electrons
non-metals
Polar covalent
the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus.
Why is the polar covalent bond the 2nd strongest?
The polar covalent is the 2nd strongest bond because the electrons are shared by the atoms to have that greater amount of time closer to the nucleus
Both non metals same electronegativity
One metal has more electron negativity
Ionic Bonds
form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom
Why is Ionic Bonds the strongest bond?
The Ionic Bonds are the strongest bond because they tend to form a lattice structure that makes them much stronger.
Non metal
Non-Metals gain metals
Metal
Lose electrons
