Document Summary

Chemical bonding: involves transfer or sharing of outer electrons, usually to acquire a stable configuration (lewis) Ionic bonding: involves transfer of outer valence electrons. Ionic solids: metal cations and non-metal anions arranged in 3d cubic lattice with strong electrostatic attraction. Typically, hard, brittle solids with high melting points dissolve in water to form solvated ions. Covalent bonding: sharing of electrons, often to attain an octet of electrons, also often between 2 non-metals. Coordinate covalent bond: one atom provides both (cid:1857) for a bond. Valence electrons are removed from atomic core.

Bond polarity: unequal sharing of (cid:1857) in a chemical bond between atoms. Percent ionic character of a bond involving a certain element decreases across a period.
