| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| KineticEnergy | Energy due to motion, occurs as a result of vibration, rotation, or translation |
| PotentialEnergy | Energy due to position, is contained in bonds and intermolecular forces |
| Bonded | Atoms are more stable when... |
| IonicBond | Forms between a metal and a nonmetal, an electrostatic attraction between ions, occurs when electrons are transferred |
| CovalentBond | Forms between 2 or more nonmetals, the sharing of electrons |
| MetallicBond | Forms between 2 metals |
| LewisTheory | When atoms bond, they lose, gain, or share electrons to attain a filled outer layer of eight electrons |
| OctetRule | The observation that atoms will tend to gain, lose, or share electrons until they are surrounded by 8 valence electrons |
| LewisSymbols | Used to indicate the number of valence electrons an atom has, represented as dots |
| Cation | Positive ion |
| Anion | Negative ion |
| ChemicalFormula | Ratio of ions based on charge balance |
| LatticeEnergy | The energy required to completely separate a mole of a solid ionic compound into its gaseous ions |
| SizeAndCharge | Lattice energies are impacted by two primary factors: |
| ValenceBondTheory | Atomic orbitals overlap to share electrons |
| SingleCovalentBond | When the bond order=1 and one pair of electrons are shared between atoms |
| PolarCovalentBond | When there are unequally shared electrons between 2 or more nonmetals |
| Dipole | An unequal sharing of electrons between atoms (a polar covalent bond) |
| NonpolarCovalentBond | When electrons are shared equally between 2 or more nonmetals |
| PolyatomicIons | Covalently bonding groups of ions that carry an overall charge |
| Oxyanions | Anions containing oxygen and another element |
| CH3COO- | Acetate |
| C2H3O2- | Acetate |
| CO3^2- | Carbonate |
| HCO3- | Hydrogen carbonate or bicarbonate |
| NO2- | Nitrate |
| NO3- | Nitrite |
| PO4^3- | Phosphate |
| PO3^3- | Phosphite |
| CrO4^2- | Chromate |
| SO4^2- | Sulfate |
| SO3^2- | Sulfite |
| HSO3- | Hydrogen sulfite |
| OH- | Hydroxide |
| CN- | Cyanide |
| MnO4- | Permanganate |
| NH4+ | Ammonium |
| Cr2O7^2- | Dichromate |
| PercentComposition | The percentage by mass contributed by each element in a sample |
| EmpiricalFormula | Contains the simplest whole number ratio of the types of atoms present in a compound |
| MolecularFormula | Describes actual numbers of atoms of each element in a molecule, and it can be the same as the empirical formula |
| FormalCharge | The number of valence electrons in an isolated atom minus the number of electrons assigned to the atom in the Lewis Structure |
| ResonanceStructure | When there is more than one Lewis Structure for a molecule that differs only in the position of the electrons |
| ElectronDomain | Regions about a central atom where electrons are located |
| MolecularGeometry | Defined by the positions of only the atoms in the molecules, not in the nonbonding pairs |
