Ionic bonds – transfer of electronsCovalent bonds – sharing of electronsSlide 4The Octet Rule – Ionic CompoundsIonic compounds form so that each atom, by gaining or losing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level....
The transfer of electrons is referred to as electrovalence. The atom that loses one or more electrons will turn into a positive ion and will be called a cation. The other atom that gains one or more electron will become a negative ion and will be referred to as an anion. The ion that...
Second, ionic bonds are weaker than covalent bonds. In covalent bonds the electrons are shared, and the interaction between the participating species (atoms) is a balance between attractive and repulsive forces. In polar covalent bonds, the attractive and repulsive forces don't balance exactly, so...
Secondary bonds, as opposed to primary bonds, are bonds with much smaller bonding energies that do not involve the transfer or sharing of electrons. These bonds are caused by permanent or temporary dipoles within the atom or molecule. Van der Waals Bond Van der Waals bondsare a result of an...
Describe the characteristics of ionic bonds and identify common ions Some atoms are more stable when they gain or lose an electron (or possibly two) and form ions. This fills their outermost electron shell and makes them energetically more stable. Because the number of electrons does not equal ...
Anionic bondis achemical bondformed when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom.Ionic bondsare also known aselectrovalent bonds. Everything in the universe is made ofatoms, the smallest possible form of anelement. Elements include substances like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. ...
This is different from covalent bonding, in which the sharing of electrons results in directional bonds. Electron Transfer Li transfers an electron to F. The result is that both the resulting ions become electrically charged and have complete, stable electron shells. Electrostatic Attraction The ...
Do ionic bonds share or transfer electrons? Do ionic bonds occur between metals and nonmetals? Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity? In what form can an ionic compound conduct electricity? What happens to electrons in ionic bonds?
1. One way is the transfer of electrons between two atoms until all atoms have octets. (ionic bond 离子键) The attraction of oppositely charged ions is what makes ionic bonds. 2. The second way for an atom to obtain an octet of electrons is by sharing electrons with another atom. (cova...
Valence Electrons Let’s Look….. Are the atoms stable after the electron transfer? Why? Or Why not? NO! the oxygen atom needs to gain 2 electrons to have a complete outer energy level! Let’s Look….. 2 lithium atoms are needed to complete the ionic bond! -2 Charge +1 Charge +1...
