17. Covalent Bond
A bond formed by the mutual sharing of valence electron
between the atoms.
Key:
Nonmetal + Nonmetal
18. Non-polar covalent bond
A bond formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between
atoms of same element.
19. Polar Covalent bond
A bond formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the
atoms of different elements.
20.
21. Properties of Covalent compounds
Low melting points and boiling points.
Mostly insoluble in water
Low enthalpies of fusion and vaporization
Mostly in liquid or gaseous state
Poor electrical and thermal conductivity
22. Coordinate Covalent bond
A bond formed by the sharing of electrons but shared pair
donated by one of the atoms called donor while other that
accept called acceptor.
23.
24. Metallic bond
A bond in which metallic cations are held together by sea of
delocalized electrons.
Key:
Metal + Metal
25.
26. Properties of Metallic solids
High thermal and electrical conductivity.
Luster and high reflectivity.
Malleability and ductility.
(They can be beaten or shaped without fracture)
Variability of mechanical strengths
(ranging from soft alkali metals to Tungsten, which is hard)
