| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds. | Molecule |
| A single molecule of a chemical compound is an individual unit capable of | existing on its own |
| A chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules | molecular compound |
| The composition of a compound is given by its | chemical formula |
| Indicates teh relative number of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numberical subscripts | chemical formula |
| Shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound | molecular formula |
| A molecule containing only two atoms | Diatomic molecule |
| an example of a diatomic molecule is | Oxygen |
| The relative strength of attraction and repulsion between the charged particles depends on | The distance separating the atoms |
| When the atoms first sense each other, the electron-proton attraction is | stronger than the elecron-electron and proton-proton repulsions. |
| The bottom of the valley in the curve of an atom energy graph represents | The balance between attraction and repulsion in a stable covalent bond. |
| The distance between two bonded atoms at their miniumum potential energy, that is, the average distance between two bonded atoms is | bond length |
| What is the bond length of a hydrogen-hydrogen bond | 75 pm |
| The amount of energy released equals the difference between the potential energy at zero level (separated atoms) and what | that at the bottom to the valley (bonded atoms). |
| The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms | Bond energey |
