ELECTRON DOT STRUCTURES
|
an electron-configuration notation in which only the valence electrons of an atom of a particular element are shown, indicated by dots placed around the element’s symbol. The inner-shell electrons are not shown.
|
|
VALENCE ELECTRONS
|
a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom
|
|
HALIDE ION
|
a halogen atom bearing a negative charge
|
|
OCTET RULE
|
atoms are most stable when they have a full outer energy level – usually this means 8 electrons in the highest numbered energy level
|
|
COORDINATE COVALENT BOND
|
a description of covalent bonding between two atoms in which both electrons shared in the bond come from the same atom
|
|
LONDON DISPERSION FORCES
|
the intermolecular attractions resulting from the constant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles
|
|
STRUCTURAL FORMULA
|
indicates the kind, number, and arrangement, and bonds but not the unshared pairs of the atoms in a molecule.
|
|
NETWORK SOLID
|
a chemical compound in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network
|
|
BOND DISSOCIATION ENERGY
|
one measure of the bond strength in a chemical bond
|
|
IONIC BONDING
|
a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion through electrostatic attraction
|
|
COVALENT BONDING
|
a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bonds
|
|
POLAR
|
the bonded elements have an unbonded pair of electrons
|
|
NONPOLAR
|
the bonded elements do not have unbonded pairs of electrons
|
|
MONATOMIC
|
has one atom in it
|
|
DIATOMIC
|
has 2 atoms in it
|
|
POLYATOMIC
|
has multiple atoms in it
|
|
SINGLE COVALENT BONDS
|
a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms
|
|
TRIPLE COVALENT BONDS
|
a covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
|
|
RESONANCE
|
occurs when there are 2 correct Lewis Structures
|
|
VSEPR THEORY
|
it is used to predict the geometries of more-complicated molecules, one must consider the locations of all electron pairs surrounding the bonding atoms
