Document Summary

Ionic: when a metal and a nonmetal bond (electron is transferred from one element (usually the metal) to the other). This produces a charge and makes ionically bonded substances highly conductive. Electrostatic attraction between a cation and an anion. Remember: an ion is a charged particle. Covalent: when two nonmetals bond (the electron(s) are shared between the elements). This produces no charge and covalently bonded substances are of low conductivity. Indicates how the valence electrons are distributed in a molecule. An atom is most stable when its outermost shell of electrons is empty/full. This does not include transition metals in the d block. Molecular formula: a formula that tells you how many of each element are in the molecule. Ex. (cid:2870)(cid:1841)=2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Structural formula: a formula that tells you how many of each element are in the molecule as well as how they are bonded to each other (their arrangement in the molecule)
