Electronegativity |
A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond |
|
Covalent bond |
A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons A bond between non- metals |
|
Double covalent bond |
2 atoms share 2 pairs of electrons |
|
Ionic bond |
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. A bond between Metallic and non metalic |
|
Metallic bond |
The electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons A bond between metallic and metallic |
|
Noble gases |
Group 8 Stable electon configuration |
|
Giant ionic lattices |
-will not conduct electricity when solid as there are no free ions. |

|
Dative covalent bonding |
A shared pair of electrons that has been provided by one atom. |
|
Examples of compounds that do not obey the octet rule: |
Sulfur hexaflouride, SF6 |
|
Lone pairs of electrons |
repel more than bonded pairs |
|
Intramolecular bonds |
Covalent |
|
Intermolecular bonds |
Hydrogen bonds |
|
Van de Waals forces |
Very weak attractive forces between induced dipoles in neighbouring molecules |
|
Hydrogen bonds |
A strong dipole-dipole attraction between an electron defficient hydrogen atom on one molecule and a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom on a different molecule. |
|
Hydrogen |
is not electronegative. It can attach to lone pairs of electrons. |
|
properties of water resulting in hydrogen bonding |
- ice less dense than water because ice has an open lattice with the Hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules apart. |
