1

Electronegativity

A relative measure of the attraction that an atom has for a shared pair of electrons when it is covalently bonded to another atom

New cards
2

Electropositive

lower EN, has a more positive charge in the relationship

New cards
3

Electrostatic

attractive or repuslive foreces between particles

New cards
4

Isoelectronic

2 atoms/ions/molecules that have the same electron structure and number of valence electrons

New cards
5

Lattice Enthalpy

Enthalpy change when 1 mol of a crystal lattice is turned into it’s infinitely seperated gaseous ions under standard conditions

New cards
6

Volatile

the tendency of a substance to vaporize

New cards
7

Electron Domain

number of pairs of electrons on a central atom

New cards
8

Allotropes

compounds of the same element that differ in structure

New cards
9

Ionic bond

an electrostatic force between positive and negative ions

New cards
10

Covalent bond

involves the electrostatic attraction between nuclei of two atoms and the electrons of their outer shells

New cards
11

Polar covalent bond

a covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons, and so the sharing is unequal

New cards
12

Dative covalent bond

a covalent bond in which both electrons come from the same atom

New cards
13

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory

the best arrangement of a given number of electron domains is the one that minimizes the repulsion among them

New cards
14

2 bonding pairs

linear 180

New cards
15

3 bonding pairs

New cards
19

2 bonding pairs 2 lone pairs

v-shaped 105

New cards
20

Metallic Bond

Positive metal ions are surrounded by a ‘sea’ of mobile negative electrons

New cards
21

Malleable

the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheets.

New cards
22

Ductile

the ability of a substance to be drawn or pulled through a small opening to produce a wire.

New cards
23

Relative atomic mass

The weighted average of the masses of the isotopes relative to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-‐12 atom
