Electrovalent Bond Ion – charged particle Cation – positively charged Electropositive element – metallic element Anion – negatively charged Electronegative element – Non-metallic element
Electrovalent Compound transfer of electrons Why Are Ionic Compounds Stable? - Due to the electrostatic forces of attraction Examples – NaCl – Sodium Chloride CaO – Calcium Oxide
EXAMPLES Sodium chloride – NaCl Electronic configuration of Sodium – 2,8,1 (11) of Chloride – 2,8,7 (17) Magnesium chloride – MgC Electronic Configuration of Magnesium – 2,8,2 (12) of Chloride – 2,8,7 (17) Calcium Oxide Electronic Configuration of Calcium – 2,8,8,2 (20) of Oxide – 2,6 (8)
Covalent Bond Single covalent bond – 1 pair of electrons Double covalent bond – 2 pairs of electrons Triple covalent bond – 3 pairs of electrons This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC
Covalent Compounds Non-polar Shared pair of electrons are at equal distance between the 2 atoms Ex – chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen Polar Shared pair of electrons are not at equal distance between the 2 atoms Ex – hydrogen chloride, water, ammonia
CHEMICAL BONDING ELECTROVALENT BOND Strong electrostatic forces of attraction Can not be separated easily They are non-volatile High boiling and melting points COVALENT BOND Weak force of attraction They are volatile Low boiling and melting points
