Unit 3: Bonding
Bonding
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Electron Configuration | Distribution of the electrons of an atom or molecule |
Covalent Bond | The mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms |
Octet Rule | an atom will become most stable when surrounded by 8 electrons in the valence shell (outer most energy shell) |
Conductivity | Material that is able to conduct electricity |
Lewis Dot Structure | Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as lone pairs of electrons |
Metallic Bond | Type of chemical bonding that arises from electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons positively charged metal ions |
Polar | When things are different at each end. |
Nonpolar | When they don't have what Polar has |
Bent | A kind of molecular geometry in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons |
Tetrahedral | Polyhedral with four faces |
Trigonal Planar | A central atom connected to three atoms in a triangular pattern. |
Linar | A molecule or polymer with a single backbone |
Valence Electrons | Electrons located at the outermost shell of a atom |
Formula Unit | Empirical formula of any Ionic or Covalent Network |
Polyatomic Ion | Composed of two or more atoms |
Vsper Theory | assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons at the valence shell |
