Chemistry
Knowing the bonds
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Compound | When 1 or more atoms are bonded together |
Molecule | A compound that has covalent bonds |
Formula Unit | A compound that has ionic bonds |
Ionic Bonds | -There is a transfer of electrons -Metal + Nonmetal (ex: NaCl) |
Covalent Bonds | -Atoms share electrons -Two NONmetals (H20) |
Chemical Formula | Notation using symbols and numbers to represent the composition of a substance. |
Molecular Formula | Shows the number and kinds of atoms actually present |
Empirical Formula | Gives the simplest ratio between atoms. |
Coefficients | Used to show the presence of multiple compounds |
Formula Unit | Ionic, always REDUCE to empirical ex: Na2Cl2 --> NaCl |
Diatomic Molecules | elements that always exist as a molecule (the magic 7) |
Size/Radius | Atomic radius increases as you move from right to left through a period. -Nuclear charge increases which draws in the outer electrons |
Shielding | inner electrons block the nuclear charge toward the outer shell electrons. |
Electronegativity | The atoms's ability to pull an electron towards itself when bonded. |
Ionization Energy | The amount of energy required to pull an electron off. |
