The energy change when 1 mol of ionic solidseparates into gaseous ions.
Explain the lattice energy with coulomb's law.
What is the main way atoms interact?
Sharing electrons- Covalent bonds
Define Electronegativity (EN)
The relative ability of a bonded atom to attract shared electrons.
This refers to a bonded atom attracting a shared pair; electron affinity refers to a gaseous atom gaining an electron to form an anion. Electrons with high EN also have a highly negative EA.
