Question
Answer
what is covalent bonding?   it is the sharing of electrons between two different nuclei to form a molecule ( between two nonmetals  
🗑
what is a bonding electron?   pairs of valence electrons that are shared between atoms  
🗑
what is a lone pair aka non bonding electron?   they are pairs of valence electron on an atom that are invoved in electron sharing  
🗑
what is a single covalent bond?   a bond in which two atoms share 1 pair of electrons  
🗑
what is a double covalent bond?   a bond in which 2 atoms share 2 pairs of electrons  
🗑
what is triple covalent bond?   a bond in which 2 atoms share 3 pairs of electrons  
🗑
what is electronegativity?   it is the measure of an atoms attraction for electrons that it shares with another atom in a chemical bond  
🗑
How can one tell if an atom has a high or a low electronegativity by looking at the periodic table?   As one goes up and to the right of the periodic table the electronegativity increases  
🗑
what else can electronegativity determine?   it can determine the degree of sharing between bonded atoms  
🗑
what is bond polarity?   the measure of the degree in equality in sharing of electrons between two atoms in a chemical bond  
🗑
what is a nonpolar molecul?   the symmetrical distribution of electron charge  
🗑
what is the polar molecule?   a molecule in which there is an unsymmetrical distribution of electron charge.  
🗑
how can atomic size be determine by looking at the periodic table?   it increases as one goes down and to the left of the periodic table.  
🗑
what is repulsion?   describes the distance between bonding and nonbonding pairs of electrons  
🗑
what is molecular geometry?   3 dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule  
🗑
what is vsepr?   it is the set procedure for predicting a 3 dimensional geometry of a molecule.  
🗑
what is the angle of a tetrahedral?   109.5  
🗑
what is the angle of a linear?   180  
🗑
what is the angle of trigonal?   120  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
