What bonds does oxygen and nitrogen havE?
nitrogen- triple
oxygen-double
Are polar molecules asymmetrical or symmetrical?
asymmetrical
Is dipole polar or nonpolar molecule?
polar
Are non-polar molecules asymmetrical or symmetrical?
symmetrical
What are nonpolar molecules with polar bonds?
two different nonmetals that are asymmetrical
Why does metals conduct electricity?
because they have mobile electrons
How is metallic bonding sometimes described?
positive ions in a sea of electrons
Where do hydrogen bonds occur?
between H and elements that have high electronegativity and am small nucleus (N, F, O)
The high boiling point of water is due to
hydrogen bonds
When do Van der Waals forces become stronger?
when molecule size increases, and distance between them decreases
What part of an atom's structure seems to be largely responsible for its chemical properties?
outer orbit, electrons
What is ionic bonding?
transfer of one or more electrons from metals to nonmetals
What is covalent bonding?
two atoms share electrons instead of transferring them
When an ionic bond is formed between two atoms, each atom usually attains an outer shell arrangement similar to what group of elements?
Group 18
What is an ion?
an atom which has gained or lost one or more of its valence electrons
What is energy?
potential energy is stored in molecules and released in the form of chemical energy
When a chemical bond is formed, energy is
released
The more energy given off when a bond is formed
the more stable the bond is

General Rule: As energy is released, the stability of the system increases
What is chemical bond?
simultaneous attraction of electrons to two or more nuclei
-electron may be transferred or shared either equally or unequally between two atoms
Why do noble gases tend NOT to bond?
because they have 8 valence electrons
Ionic properties
-Ionic solids often form crystal structures held in fixed positions
-When melted or dissolved in water, the crystal structure is destroyed and the ions flow freely, this free movements allows for electrical conductivity
What are molecular substances?
substances that contain covalent bonds are known as molecular substance and each particle is called a molecule
The greater the difference of electronegativity the (more, less) polar a bond is
more
HF- most out of other hydrogen bonds
The element that has a higher electronegativity is
the negative pole
*Opposite: the element that has a lower electronegativity is the positve pole
**known as dipole
Metallic bonding occurs between atoms of metals
that have low ionization energies
Network solids (covalent)
-exception to softness
-examples: diamond, silicon dioxide, sand
What substances have the highest melting/boiling point?
-metallic
-then ionic
-covalent the least
Is CO2 (carbon dioxide) polar in the intramolecular or the intermolecular?
Intramolecular- polar

Intermolecular- non-polar
All diatomic particles are non polar for both
intermolecular and intramolecular
What physical properties are affected by intermolecular forces?
surface tension, solubility, melting and boiling points
What is a dipole?
-is the asymmetrical distribution of electrical charge in a molecule
-In a dipole, one end of the molecule is more negative than another
The hydrogen bonding in water causes a (low/high) vapor pressure and (low/high) boiling point?
low vapor pressure
high boiling point
Molecular-ion attractions are present in
aqueous solutions
Water molecules
are polar with polar covalent bonds
