| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atoms are usually most stable when they have a full 8 electrons in their valence level fulfills this | octet rule |
| Large organic molecules that have unique properties | macromolecules |
| What factors affect a molecules shape? | the number of bonds an atom forms affects the molecules shape |
| Nonmetals with uneven electron negativities form what type of bonds? | polar covalent bonds |
| Ions in a solution are called | electrolytes |
| element that naturally occurs as 2 identical, bonded atoms or any particle consisting of 2 atoms | Diatomic element |
| Why do atoms bond? | to obey the octet rule, to become more stable and follow the second law of thermodynamics |
| How do electrolytes conduct electrical currents? | they have to be in a solution, makes them an excellent conductor of electricity |
| What determines bond strength and bond type? | the difference in electronegativity of the elements |
| Molecules that are partially charged on each end | polar diatomic molecules |
| Which is stronger; ionic or covalent bonds? | ionic |
| This group of elements have only one or two valence electrons | metals |
| Which type of bonds DO NOT follow the octet rule? | metallic bonds |
| List the properties of ionic compounds. | they can form bonds with metals and nonmetals |
| An unbonded atom's ability to attract and hold electrons is its | electron affinity |
| a bonded atom's ability to attract and hold electrons is its | electronegativity |
| three-dimensional arrangement of atoms or ions | crystal lattice |
| Electrons in metallic compounds are | are free |
| How do the covalent compounds in our bodies show God's design | it shows that these things could only happen because he created us |
| a molecule containing just 2 elements | Diatomic molecule |
| Three properties of metal are | malleability, luster, thermal and electrical conductivity, ductility |
| Metal bonds sharing free electrons | Free electron theory |
| contains carbon and has at least one hydrogen atom | Organic compound. |
| two non-metals share electrons to form bonds | Covalent Bonds |
| low polarity, low melting and boiling point and liquid or gaseous at room temperature is what type of bond | Covalent Bonds |
| formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals are "stronger" than the metal and can get electrons very easily from the metal | Ionic Bonds |
| high polarity, high melting and boiling point and solid at room temperature is what type of bond | Ionic Bonds |
| Hydrogen chloride (HCI), poisonous gas, molecular is covalent or ionic or metallic? | covalent |
| Calcium iodide (Cal2), yellowish white solid, high melting point, soluble in water is covalent or ionic or metallic? | ionic |
| Ytterbium (Yb), silvery lustrous solid, ductile, malleable, high melting point is covalent or ionic or metallic? | metallic |
| Bromine (Br), reddish brown liquid, electrical insulator, molecular is covalent or ionic or metallic? | covalent |
| Magnesium oxide (MgO), powdery white solid, high melting point, electrical insulator is covalent or ionic or metallic? | ionic |
| Aluminum (Al), silver white luster, ductile, good electrical conductor, insoluble | metallic |
| what class of elements form a covalent compounds | nonmetals |
| The smallest ratio of elements in an ionic compound that describes its chemical composition | formula unit |
| form when each atom must share 3 electrons to complete it's octet | triple bond |
| shares 2 pairs of electrons to form a double covalent bond | double bond |
| diatomic elements form bonds with no polarity | nonpolar bonds |
| metal atoms share electrons | metallic bond |
| consist of covalently bonded molecules | covalent compounds |
| pair of dots between the symbols that identifies a covalent bond | Lewis Structure (electron dot notation) |
| What is the difference between eltronegativity and electron affinity? | electronegativity is a bonded atom's ability to attract and hold electrons is its |
| What are two main ways atoms aquire a full outer energy level | sharing electrons and when atoms gain or lose electrons to gain a full octet |
| Name and describe the model that accounts for metallic bonding | the electron sea theory (free electron theory) electrons are shared among all the other bonded atoms in the element |
| How is electron dot notation notations useful for predicting the number of covalent bonds a nonmetal can form? | the number of unpaired dots is the number of covalent bonds the atom can form with other atoms |
| What are the beneficial properties of covalent compounds as the main components of living organisms? | light, flexible, strong and do not easily dissolve |
| Difference between electonegativity and electron affinity? | electronegativity varies it's place on the periodic table and its atomic number ;electron affinity is a measure of how well it attracts and holds electrons |
| Why are covalent bonds between different elements always polar? | They have different electronegativities. |
| what determines the shape of simple molecules | the number of bonds an atom forms |
| how do metal atoms in the solids state most often arrange themselves | in a hexagonal closed package |
