covalent bond
a chemical bond that results from the sharing of valence electrons, often between nonmetals
single bond
consists of one shared pair of electrons between atoms
double bond
consists of two shared pairs of electrons between atoms
triple bond
consists of three shared pairs of electrons between atoms
molecule
a neutral group of covalently bonded atoms
molecular formula
uses element symbols and subscripts to represent the actual number of atoms present in the molecule
polyatomic ion
a charged group of covalently bonded atoms
strong electrolytes
substances whose aqueous solutions are strong conductors of electricity
weak electrolytes
substances whose aqueous solutions are weak conductors of electricity
non-electrolytes
substances whose aqueous solutions do not conduct electricity
organic compound
a compound that contains carbon bonded to hydrogen
catenate
to bond itself, forming long chains or rings
straight-chain alkane
a hydrocarbon that has only single bonds between carbon atoms that form a continuous chain
hydrocarbon
a compound only made of carbon and hydrogen
structural formula
a formula that uses element symbols and lines to depict which atoms are covalently bonded in a molecule
cycloalkane
a hydrocarbon that only has a single bonds between carbon atoms that form a ring
inorganic compounds
compounds that do not contain carbon bonded to hydrogen
oxyacid
an acid that contains an oxyanion
binary molecular compounds
molecular compounds composed of two elements
