Term
Why do metallic bonds conduct electricity?
Definition
They are surrounded by a "sea" of mobile electrons.
Term
How can you tell if it is a strong or weak bond?
Definition
How much energy it takes to seperate the atoms, so if it has a high or low melting point.
Term

Definition
7-3-7
Term
Define a substitutional alloy.
Definition
When replacement metals in an alloy are approximately the same size, they will replace eachother in the metallic crystal, the alloys formed are called this.
Term
When replacement alloys are different sizes, and the smaller ones fit into the spaces in the alrger ones, what is it called?
Definition
Interstitial alloy
Term
What is an example of a substitutional alloy?
Definition
gold/silver
Term
What is an example of an interstitial alloy?
Definition
iron/carbon
Term
What are 4 advantages of alloys?
Definition
1) harder/higher melting point
2) more malleable
3) more durable
4) less chemically reactive
Term
For an electron to be transfered, what does the difference in electronegativity have to at least be?
Definition
1.7
Term
KNOW HOW TO DRAW STRUCTURE OF COMPOUNDS.....
Definition
KNOW IT.....
Term
What does the ratio have to be for a compound to be reactive?
Definition
1:1
Term
Polyatomic ions are...
Definition
large, complex ions
Term
Write the formula for ammonium perchlorate.(polyatomic ion, use reference tables)
Definition
NH4ClO4 (both 4s are subscripts)
Term
Do ionic compounds conduct electricity? Why?
Definition
No, b/c they don't have electrons floating around.
Term
When will electrons be shared?
Definition
When the electronegativity is similar.
Term
Define non-polar covalent bonds.
Definition
Electrons are shared EQUALLY.
Term
What is the best way to have a non-polar covalent bond?
Definition
BE THE SAME ELEMENT!!!
(same electronegativity)
Term
What is a way, besides same electronegativity, to have a non-polar covalent bond?
Definition
If it is structurally balanced, despite a polar-covalent bond, it will be non-polar.
Term
A bond = how many electrons?
Definition
2
Term
Define polar-covalent bond.
Definition
electrons are shared UNEQUALLY.
Term
The bigger the difference in electronegativity = more or less polar?
