| Lewis structure | Electron-dot diagram that represents the arrangement of electrons in a molecule. |
| Sigma bond | Single covalent bond |
| Pi bond | Bond that forms when parallel orbitals overlap and share electrons. |
| Endothermic reaction | Reaction that occurs when a greater amount of energy is required to break the existing bonds in the reactants than is released when the new bonds form in the products. |
| Exothermic reaction | Reaction that occurs when more energy is released during product bond formation than is required to break bonds in the reactants. |
