CHEM 3

Chemistry Unit 3 Review

TermDefinition
Molecular Compounds form covalent bonds by sharing electrons
Ionic compounds form by giviing up or recieving electrons
electron dot notation a diagram that shows an element with its valence electrons surrounding it
Molecule a group of atoms with a neutral charge held together by covalent bonds
Molecular Geometry The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in a molecule
Cation a positively charged ion formed when a neutral atom loses electrons
Metallic Bonding A type of chemical bonding that is caused by the electrostatic attraction of electrons in the electron sea for the nuclei of metal atoms
Metalloid An element that is not as malleable as a metal but not as brittle as a nonmetal, and which will conduct electricity under certain conditions
Electron Affinity The amount of energy released when a neutral atom gains an electron to become an anion
Lewis structure a chemical formula that uses element symbols to represent nuclei and inner shell electrons, dot pairs or dashes to represent electron pairs in covalent bonds and single or paired dots arranged around the symbol to represent unshared electrons.
Polyatomic ions Covalently bonded atoms that function as a whole and have either a surplus or deficit of electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge
Nonpolar Bond a covalent bond in which the force of attraction for the shared pair of electrons is exerted equally by all of the atoms in the molecule
London Dispersion Forces intermolecular forces created by temporary dipoles that result from the movement of electrons in the atoms within molecules
Hydrogen Bond force that forms between an unshared pair of electrons on one molecule and a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom on another molecule
dipole-dipole forces intermolecular forces resulting from the attraction of the negative portion of the dipole of a polar molecule to the positive portion of the dipole of an adjacent polar molecule
hybridization the mixing of two or more orbitals of different energy levels on the same atom to produce new hybrid orbitals
Bond energy The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral atoms
Valence electrons electrons that occupy the highest energy level of an atom of a particular element and determine its chemical properties
luster the name of the ability of a substance to shine by reflecting light
ductility the ability of a substance to be drawn, pulled, stretched, or extruded into a wire
octet a full s and p sublevel (eight electrons) that completes the outer electron shell of an atom and makes the element very stable and chemically nonreactive
malleability the ability of a substance to be hammered, shaped, or beaten into thin sheets
ionization The amount of energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element
Dmitri Mendeleev Russian chemist and teacher who is given credit for compiling the Periodic Table of Elements
Periodicity the repetition of chemical properties among elements when they are arranged according to their atomic numbers
Henry Moseley the English physicist who discovered that periodicity is based on atomic numbers
Ionic Bond A type of chemical bond in which positively charged cations and negatively charged anions are held together by electrostatic attraction
Resonance The property of certain molecules or ions that exhibit the characteristics of more than one bond structure at the same time and cannot be represented by a single Lewis structure
VSEPR a theory that states that repulsion between valence-level electron pairs surrounding the central atom in a molecule causes them to be oriented as far apart as possible
Polar covalent bond a covalent bond in which the force of attraction for the shared pair of electrons is more strongly exerted by the atom with the greater electronegativity
electronegativity The measure of the ability of an atom of one element to attract electrons from an atom of another element to form a compound
The real basis of periodicity of elements is the electron ___ of their atoms. Configuration
Ionic Radius The measure of the size of an ion
Monoatomic Ions Positive or negative ions consisting of only one atom
octahedral molecule with 6 atoms bonded to a central atom with no unshared electrons which form an octahedron, such as SF6
tetrahedral molecule with 4 atoms bonded to a central atom with no unshared pairs of electrons, such as CH4
T-shaped molecule with 3 atoms bonded to a central atom with 2 unshared pairs of electrons, such as CIF3
Linear molecule with 2 atoms bonded to a central atom with no unshared electrons, such as BeF2
trigonal bipyramidal molecule with 5 atoms bonded to a central atom with no unshared electrons that form the vertices of a bipyramid, such as PCl5
trigonal pyramidal molecule with 3 atoms bonded to a central atom with 1 pair of unshared electrons, such as NH3

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
