sbc 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Ionic Bonding, Metallic Bonding, Formal Charge

97 views3 pages

Document Summary

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons and is usually observed when a metal bonds to a nonmetal. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons and is usually observed when a nonmetal bonds to a nonmetal. Metallic bonding involves electron pooling and occurs when a metal bonds to another metal. The more electronegative atom is assigned all the shared electrons. The less electronegative atom is assigned none of the shared electrons. Each atom in a bond is assigned all of its unshared electrons. = # of valence e- (# of shared e- + # of unshared e- ) electronegativities can be used to assign oxidation numbers. An ionic bond is formed when a metal transfers electrons to a nonmetal to form ions, which attract each other to give a solid compound. The total number of electrons lost by the metal atom(s) equals the total number of electrons gained by the nonmetal atoms.
