Unit 3: Bonding

TermDefinition
Electron configuration The arrangement of electrons in atom.
Covalent bond A bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
Ionic bond A force that attracts electrons from one atom to another, which transforms a neutral atom into an ion.
Ion An atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge.
Lewis dot structure (electron-dot notation) A structure formula in which electrons are represented by dots; dot pairs or dashes between two atomic symbols represents pairs in covalent bonds.
Octet rule An atom will be most stable when surrounded by 8 electrons in the valence shell (outer most energy level)
Metallic bond A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them.
Conductivity Material that is able to conduct electricity
Polar Describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are separated.
Nonpolar A covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are equally attracted to both bonded atoms.
Bent Two atoms bonded to central atom; One lone pair of electrons.
Tetrahedral Four atoms bonded to central atom.
Trigonal Planar Three atoms bonded to central atoms.
Linar Two atoms bonded to central atom .
Valence electrons An electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines that atom's chemical properties.
Formula unit The simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic compound's formula can be written.
Polyatomic ion An ion made of two or more atoms.
VSEPR theory A theory that predicts some molecular shapes based on the idea that pairs of valence electrons surrounding an atom repel each other.

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.
