16 Terms

1

ionic bond

electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

New cards
2

covalent bond

a bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms

New cards
3

pure covalent bond

two identical nonmetals sharing electrons equally. It is nonpolar.

i.e.: Cl₂

New cards
4

polar covalent bond

a covalent bond between atoms with different electronegativity (differnce ~ 0.5 - 1.8)

New cards
5

electronegativity

the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself

New cards
6

Lewis symbol

Consists of the element''s chemical symbol and a dot for each valence electron

New cards
7

Lewis structure

diagram showing lone pairs and bonding pairs of electrons in a molecule or ion

New cards
8

octet rule

Atoms bond in order to obtain a total of 8 valence electrons

New cards
9

single bond

a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.

New cards
10

double bond

covalent bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms

New cards
11

triple bond

a covalent bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons

New cards
12

VSEPR Theory

This predicts molecule's 3D shape based on Lewis Dot Structures.

New cards
13

electron-pair geometry

arrangement around a central atom of all regions of electron density ( this includes bonds and lone pairs)

New cards
14

molecular structure

the 3D arrangement of atoms in a molecule

New cards
15

dipole moment

a molecule that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge

New cards
16

molecular polarity

molecule with a dipole moment
