Bonds & Electrons
Chapter 2 - A & P Lecture
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Bonds are formed when..... | valence electrons are either shared or transferred to another atom |
| Ionic Bonding | electrons are transferred |
| Covalent Bonding | electron pairs are shared |
| Octet Rule | atoms want a outer shell full with 8e- (octet) or else they are chemically reactive and form chemically bonds to achieve an octet |
| Type of chemical bod between atoms is determined by their difference in: | electronegativity (ability of an atom's nucleus (positive) to attract electrons |
| Ionic Bonds | atoms that have gained or lost 1 or more electrons by transference Ex: Cations (pos.) and Anions (neg.) |
| Covalent Bonds | atoms share 1 or more pairs of electrons Ex: single (2 atoms share one pair) and double (2 atoms share 4) |
| Nonpolar Covalent | electrons share equally Ex: hydrogen |
| Polar Covalent | electrons share unequally Ex: water |
| Molecules | two or more atoms chemically combined to form an independent unit Ex: hydrogen molecule (H2), water molecule (H2O) |
| Compounds | substance composed of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined Ex: sodium chloride (NaCl), water (H2O) |
| Molecular Mass | determined by adding up atomic masses of its atoms or ions |
| Intermolecular Forces | forces between molecules |
| Hydrogen Bonds | when pos. charged H of one molecule is attracted to neg. charged O, N, or F of another molecule |
| Solubility | ability of one substance to dissolve in another |
| Dissociation | in ionic compounds, when ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules |
| Electrolytes | solutions made by the dissociation of cations and anions in water - conduct an electric current - detected by electrolytes |
| Nonelectrolytes | solutions made by molecules that dissolve in water but DON'T dissociate - don't conduct electricity |
