ionic bonding
|
Chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between large numbers of cations and anions
|
|
Covalent Bonding
|
results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.
|
|
Non Polar Covalent bond
|
a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms resulting in a balanced distribution.
|
|
polar
|
uneven distribution of charge
|
|
polar covalent bond
|
a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons
|
|
molecule
|
a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.
|
|
molecular formula
|
shows the types and number of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound.
|
|
chemical formula
|
indicates the relative numbers of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numerical subscripts.
|
|
diatomic molecule
|
a molecule containing only two atoms
|
|
bond length
|
the distance between two bonded atoms at their minimal potential
|
|
bond energy
|
is the energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms
|
|
octet rule
|
chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level
|
|
lone pair
|
a pair of electrons that belongs to one atom
|
|
single bond
|
a covalent bond produced by the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms
|
|
double bond
|
a covalent bond produced by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms
|
|
triple bond
|
a covalent bond produced by the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms
|
|
multiple bonds
|
dubs and trips bonds
|
|
resonance
|
refers to bonding in molecules or ions that cannot be correctly represented by a single lewis structure
|
|
ionic compound
|
composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal.
