Redox reactions
The reaction that involves the transferring of electrons
OIL RIG
An abbreviation for oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gain of electrons
Oxidating agent
A substance that accepts electrons
Reducing agent
A substance that donates electrons
Electronegativity
The measurement of tendency for an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
Ionic bond
The transfer of electrons between non-metals and metals…e=2
Covalent bond
The sharing of electrons between non-metals
Metallic bonding
The sharing of electrons between metals
Polar covalent bond
e=,>0…weak polar when 0<or=e>or=1….strong polar when e>or=1
Non-polar covalent bond
Is when e=0
