Ionic bonds
Formed because of electron transfers between atoms
Covalent Bond
Atoms that share electrons
Ionic Compounds
Ions Held Together by Electron Transfer
Polar
Unequally shared electrons
Nonpolar
Equally shared electrons
Hydrogen Bond
The attraction of the positive hydrogen end of a polar molecule to the negative nitrogen or oxygen end of another polar molecule
Molecule
Same atom type bonded
Chemical Reactions
showing reactants and products; some reversible
Molecular Formula
Number/Type atoms in a molecule
Synthesis
A + B = AB
Unstable Isotopes
Radioactive because they emit energetic particles
Atomic fragments/energy given off by unstable isotopes

Hydrogen Bond is weakest
H is slightly +, N or O slightly -
Different atom types combined
compound
Structural formula
stick model
decomposition
AB = A+B
Exchange
AB+C=AC+B
Reversible reaction
A+B ↔ AB
atoms or molecules that can change rate of reaction
catalyst
substances that release ions in water (inorganic)
electrolytes
releases hydrogen ions in water

neutral Ph
7.0; equal numbers of hydronium and hydroxide ions
ph
measure of the H+ in a solution

salts
composed of opposites charged ions (acids and bases)
