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.
