metals
chemical bonds in which metal atoms are surrounded by delocalized electrons
metallic bonds
electrons that circulate freely throughout a molecule or crystal instead of being bound to a single atom or pair of atoms
delocalized electrons
The large number of _______ gives metals their characteristic properties
freely circulating electrons
contribution of each bonding type to a bond
bond character
true or false: in most cases, the bonding in compounds is not completely ionic, covalent, or metallic
true
forces between molecules
intermolecular forces
true or false: intermolecular forces bond atoms to form compounds
false; they bond molecules together without changing the compound
forces between neighboring polar molecules caused by the attraction of oppositely charged ends
dipole-dipole forces
which are stronger: dipole-dipole forces or ionic bonds?
ionic bonds
the more polar the molecule, the __1__ the dipole-dipole force and the __2__ the boiling point
weak intermolecular forces resulting from momentary dipoles in molecules
London forces
only type of intermolecular force that occurs between most nonpolar molecules
London forces (Fritz London)
how easily an electron cloud is distorted
polarizability
unusually strong intermolecular force between molecules containing hydrogen covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom
hydrogen bond
true or false: hydrogen bonds are much stronger than any other intermolecular forces
true
the 3 elements hydrogen must be bonded to to form hydrogen bonds
nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine
has no ordered arrangement or pattern for the particles that compose it
amorphous solid
means syrupy
viscous
characterized by particles arranged in a regular, repeated three-dimensional pattern
crystalline solid
simplest repeating unit in a crystal
unit cell
two bond shapes that are always polar
angular and trigonal pyramidal
