Unit 5 Vocab

QuestionAnswer
electronegativity a measure of the attraction of an atom for electrons
ionic bond often form when metals bond with nonmetals and there is a great difference in electronegativities
non-polar covalent bond bonds that form when the difference in electronegativity between bonding atoms is low - The electrons are shared equally between the atoms.
polar covalent bond An unequal sharing of electrons. One atom with a higher electronegativity draws the bonding electrons toward itself, pulling those electrons away from the atom with the lower electronegativity value.
non reactive non metals Noble gasses
valence electrons the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom
covalent bond form between two nonmetal atoms because the atoms have similar electronegativities
single covalent bond A bond that is composed of two shared electrons
double covalent bond A bond that is composed of four shared electrons
triple covalent bond A bond that is composed of six shared electrons
Lewis structure a representation of an atom's valence electrons using dots and the element symbol
octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
coordinate covalent bond A covalent bond in which both electrons come from one atom.
resonance structure represent all of the possible positions of electrons in a molecule’s chemical bonds.

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
