Review of Covalent Compounds
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Compound that uses prefixes to name it | covalent |
| Chemical Compound that does not use prefixes to name | ionic |
| neutral group of atoms joined with covalent bonds | molecule |
| prefix meaning 6 | hexa |
| 2 parts of a covalent bond | anion + anion |
| 2 parts of an ionic bond | cation + anion |
| prefix meaning 3 | tri |
| Unequal sharing of valence electrons | polar covalent bond |
| prefix meaning 4 | tetra |
| Covalent Bond that uses 4 shared valence electrons | Double Covalent |
| prefix meaning 2 | di |
| Covalent bond that uses 6 shared valence electrons | Triple Covalent |
| Ionic & Covalent bonds are trying to acheive a ____electron configuration | Noble Gas (8A) |
| Equal sharing of valence electrons | nonpolar covalent bond |
| this is always needed for naming covalent compounds but never used on ionic compounds | prefixes |
| prefix never used on first anion in covalent bond | mono |
| VSEPR Theory | says that electron pairs need to be as far apart as possible |
| Covalent bond that uses 2 shared valence electrons | Single Covalent |
| Carbon-Hydrogen molecule with at least 1 double CB | alkene Example: C2H4 |
| Carbon-Hydrogen molecule with only single CBs | alkane Example: C2H6 |
| Carbon-Hydrogen molecule with at least 1 triple CB | alkyne Example: C2H2 |
| Energy needed to break a covalent bond | Bond disassociation energy |
| Says that the goal of ionic and covalent bonds is to have 8 valence electrons | Octet Rule |
| Having more than 1 correct structural formula | resonance |
| formula that shows only the type of atoms and their amount | molecular formula |
| formula that shows the type of bonds and unshared electron pairs | structural formula |
| Energy needed to remove valence electrons from an atom | ionization energy |
| Ability to attract valence electrons from nearby atoms | electronegativity |
| prefix for 5 | penta |
