DAVENPORT U4 Chemical Bonding Outline and Objectives

Types of Chemical Bonds

Ionic, covalent, and metallic bondsThere are three major types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic. Ionic bonds form due to the transfer of an electron from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms. Metallic bonds are formed by the attraction between metal ions and delocalized, or "free" electrons.

Ionic Bonds & Properties

Ionic bonds and Coulombs lawIntroduction to how the strength of ionic bonds is related to Coulomb's law. Example of using Coulomb's law to explain differences in melting points of ionic compounds.

Electronegativity

ElectronegativityElectronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself. On the periodic table, electronegativity increases as you move right across a period and decreases as you go down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

Bond Type and Bond Polarity

Electronegativity and bondingElectronegativity differences in bonding using the Pauling scale. Classifying bonds as covalent, polar covalent, or ionic.

Metallic natureProperties of metals and how we can explain their properties using the electron "sea" model.
