A mutual electrical attraction between the nucei and the valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together
Ionic Bonding
chemical conding that results from the eletrical attraction between cations and anions
Covalent Bonding
Results from the sharing of electrons pairs between two atoms
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
A covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms resulting in a balance distribution of eletrical charge
Polar
Bonds that have an uneven distribution of charge
Polar-covalent bonds
Covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons
Molecule
a nuetral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds
Molecular compound
A chemical compound whose simplist units are molecules
Chemical formula
indicates the relative numbers of atoms of each kind of chemical compound by using atomic symbols
Bond Energy
Energy required to break a chemical bond and form nuetral isolated atoms
Electron-dot notation
An electron configuration notation in which only valence electrons of an atom of a particular element are shown
Lewis Structure
Formulas in which atomic Symbols represent nuclei and inner-shell electrons
Structural formula
indicates the kind,number,arrangement, and bonds but not the unshared pairs of the atoms in a molecule
Single Bond
A covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between to atoms
Multiple bond
Double and triple bonds or multiple covalent bonds
Resonance
bond in molecules or ions that can't be correctly represented by a single Lewis structure
Ionic compound
Composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the number of positive and negative charges are equal
Formula Unit
Simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic shows the ratios of the ions present in a sample of any size
Polyatomic ion
a charged group of covalently bonded atoms
Metallic bonding
the chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surounding sea of electrons
malleability
the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheets
ductility
the ability of a substance to be drawn,pulled,or extruded through a small opening to produce a wire
VSEPR theory
states that replusion between thesets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible
Dipole
created by equal but opposite charges that are seperated by a short distance
Hydrogen bonding
the inter molecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule
London dispersion forces
The intermolecular attractions resulting from the constant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles.
