Compounds & Molecule
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Polymer | Large chain-like molecule made of small units called monomers. |
| Polyatomic Ions | A group of covalently bonded atoms that have lost or gained electrons. |
| Empirical Formula | Simplest ratio of atoms within a compound. (EX: HO) |
| Molecular Formula | Tells actual numbers of atoms in a molecule of a compound (EX: H2O2) |
| Organic Compounds | Covalently bonded compounds that contain carbon. |
| Alkenes | Hydrocarbons, has at least one double bonds, and names end in -ene. |
| Alcohols | Made of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Names end in -ol. |
| Biochemical Polymers | Some examples include Carbohydrates and Proteins. |
| Compound | Substance made of atoms of 2 or more different elements. |
| Chemical Bonds | Attractive force that joins different atoms or ions together in a compound. They can break. |
| Chemical Structure | How atoms are arranged in a compound. |
| Bond length | Distance between nuclei of 2 bonded atoms. |
| Bond Angles | Angle formed by 2 bonds to same atom. |
| Bonding | Valence electrons determine an atoms ability to form chemical bonds. |
| Lewis Dot Structure | Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that exist. |
| Ionic Bonds | Strong bond formed by attraction of oppositely charged atoms. (Metals and nonmetals) |
| Covalent Bonding | Formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. They occur between NONMETALS. |
| Metallic Bonds | Attraction between metal ions and the electrons surrounding them. |
