Chemical Bonding Cheat Sheet

Key Definitions


  • Ionic Bond: Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. ✅

  • Covalent Bond: Sharing of electron pairs between atoms. ✅

  • Metallic Bond: Attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons. ✅

  • Electronegativity: Ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond. ✅

Important Concepts

Types of Bonds


  • Ionic Bonds: Formed between metals and non-metals; high melting points.

  • Covalent Bonds: Formed between non-metals; can be single, double, or triple.

  • Metallic Bonds: Characterized by a "sea of electrons"; conductive and malleable.

Bond Polarity


  • Polar Covalent: Unequal sharing of electrons (difference in electronegativity). ✅

  • Non-Polar Covalent: Equal sharing of electrons (same or similar electronegativities). ✅

Key Formulas


ΔEN = |EN1 - EN2|
  • ΔEN: Electronegativity difference

  • EN1, EN2: Electronegativity values of the atoms

Common Mistakes to Avoid


Common Mistake: Confusing ionic bonds with covalent bonds; remember ionic involves electron transfer, while covalent involves sharing.
