Answer to Question #204755 in General Chemistry for Master j

Question

Differentiate between the following types of bonds, using an illustration in each case to assist in your answer.

i. Metallic bonding

ii. Hydrogen bonding

iii. Ionic bonding

Answer 1

a)metalic is bonding that occurs in metal

b) This leads to giant structures of metal atoms arranged in a regular pattern.

C) Eg. Gold, silver, copper etc

2) hydrogen bonding

a)Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom.

b) It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom and another very electronegative atom.

c) eg. Water, ammonia

3) ionic bonding

a) Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms.

b) It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.
