Chemical Bond |
A force of attraction that holds atoms together in compounds; an attraction produced by the transferring or sharing of electrons |
|
Octet Rule |
A rule staying that an atom tend to gain, share, or lose electrons until it's order level s and p molecules have 8 electrons; this gives the element an electron configuration of a noble gas |
|
Covalent Bond |
Two sons held together in an ion or molecule for the same pair of shared electrons |
|
Ionic Bond |
The electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions in a solid |
|
Metallic Bond |
A communal sharing of electrons between metal atoms |
|
Polarity |
The tendency for an object to form two localized regions of the opposite character; in chemistry, it refers to electrical charge |
|
Electrostatic Force |
The fields of force exerted by selectively charges. It may be repulsive or attractive depending on the type of charges interacting. |
|
Lewis Structure |
A two-dimensional diagram that uses element symbols and dots two show the bonds between different atoms |
|
Polyatomic Ion |
A group of atoms that maintains a constant electrical charge while existing as a unit in a wide variety of chemical reactions |
|
Formula Unit |
The simplest ratio of elements in an ionic compound that describes its combination |
|
Crystal Lattice |
An extensive three dimensional structure of points or objects that represents the regular alternating pattern of atoms or ions |
|
Electron-sea Theory |
A theory that offers an explanation of how metals bond; the valence electrons of apps are said to be freely shared among all atoms |
|
Delocalized Electron |
Electrons that can move between several different bonds. |
|
Network Covalent Substance |
Atoms bonded into a continuous three-dimensional network, like Diamond |
|
Alloy |
A mixture of atoms of a metal with another element where the mixture had metallic properties |
