question
Chemical Bonds
answer
the attractive force that holds two atoms together
in a more complex unit.
question
Ionic Bond
answer
a chemical bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another atom or group of atoms
question
Ionic Compound
answer
a compound in which ionic bonds are present
question
Covalent bond
answer
is a chemical bond formed through the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms
question
Covalent compound
answer
A molecular compound is a compound in which covalent bonds are present.
question
Valence Electrons
answer
is an electron in the outermost electron shell of a representative element or noble-gas element.
Participates in bonding.
question
Lewis electron dot symbol
answer
The chemical symbol of an element surrounded
by dots equal in number to the number of valence electrons present in atoms of the
element.
question
Group number
answer
an identifier used to describe the column of the standard periodic table in which the element appears.

Example:

Group 1: alkali metals
Group 2: alkaline earth metals
Group 17: halogens
Group 18: noble gases
question
Outermost electron shell
answer
The valence electron shell
where bonding takes place
question
Cation
answer
Positive Ion
question
Anion
answer
Negative Ion
question
Octet Rule
answer
In forming compounds, atoms of elements lose, gain, or share electrons in such a way as to produce a noble-gas electron configuration for each of the atoms involved
question
isoelectronic series
answer
a group of atoms/ions that have the same number of electrons. Examples. N3-, O2-, F-
question
ionic charge
answer
the electrical charge of an ion
question
binary ionic
answer
is an ionic compound in which one element present is a
metal and the other element present is a nonmetal. The metal is always present as the
positive ion, and the nonmetal is always present as the negative ion.
question
ternary ionic compounds
answer
consists of three compounds usually an element (i.e. metal) and a polyatomic ion.
e.g. of ploy atomic ion Nitrate (NO3), Chlorate(ClO3), Chloric (ClO4), Sulphate (SO4)
question
Chemical formula MxNy
answer
?
question
Polyatomic Ions
answer
A polyatomic ion is a molecule made up of 2 or more atoms that bears ionic groups, that is, a molecule with a charge.
question
How many bonds can O form?
answer
2 bonds
question
How many bonds can H form?
answer
1 bond
question
Dipoles
answer
intermolecular force that occurs between polar
molecules.
question
lone pair of electrons
answer
a lone pair is a valence electron pair which is not shared with another atom and is sometimes called a non-bonding pair.
question
VSEPR Theory
answer
a lone pair is a valence electron pair which is not shared with another atom and is sometimes called a non-bonding pair.
question
Ab4
answer
tetrahydral
question
AB3E
answer
Pyramidal
question
Ab2
answer
linear
question
AB2E2
answer
angular or bent
question
AB3
answer
trigonal planar
question
Single Bonds

Double Bonds

Triple Bonds
answer
bond with one pair of electrons
bond with 2
bond with 3
question
sigma ? and pi ? bonds
answer
.A sigma bond is just a single bond.

2.When you have a double bond, you have 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond.

A pi bond is any bond formed after the single bond is formed

answer
hat describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself
question

question
Avogrado's hypothesis
answer
V/n=cnst
question
endothermic
answer
a process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings in the form of heat
question
endergonic
answer
the total amount of energy is a loss (it takes more energy to start the reaction than what you get out of it)
question
thermal expansion
answer
change in dimensions of a material resulting from a change in temperature.
question

answer
an action or object coming from within a system
question

answer
experimental observations about gas
question
exothermic
answer
a chemical or physical reaction that releases heat
question
vapor pressure
answer
pressure of a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases in a closed container.
question
compressibility
answer
a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change.
