Chapter 6 Chemical Bonding.pptVIP

6-1 Chemical Bonds Forces that hold groups of atoms together and make them function as a unit. Ionic bonds – transfer of electrons Metal + Nonmetal Ex) NaCl Li2O Covalent bonds – sharing of electrons. 2 nonmetals Ex) H2O CO2 Metallic bonds- electrons are free to move throughout the material. Metals Covalent Bonds Nonpolar-Covalent bonds (H2) Electrons are equally shared Electronegativity difference of 0 to 0.3 Polar-Covalent bonds (HCl) Electrons are unequally shared Electronegativity difference between .3 and 1.7 Using Electronegativity differences SCs
