Term
Definition
Chemical Bond   An electrical force linking atoms together. Many different ty’pes. ALL involve electrons!  
🗑
Covalent Bond   Bond that results from the sharing of pairs of electrons (two electrons) between NONMETALS (only).  
🗑
Polarity   Describes how equally bonding electrons are shared between atoms.  
🗑
Hydrogen Bonding   Weak attraction between partial (  
🗑
Molecule   Simplest structural unit of an element or compound. Can be one atom, or more than one atom.  
🗑
Diatomic   Molecule made of two atoms. Di-two atomic-atoms. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine, and Chlorine are diatomic molecules.  
🗑
Monatomic   Molecule made up of only one atom. Noble gasses are key examples of monatomic molecules.  
🗑
Octet Rule   Atoms will lose, gain, or share electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell.  
🗑
Ionic Bond   Bond that results from transfer of electrons (electrical attraction) from metal cations and nonmetal anions. Held together in a repeating pattern (crystal lattice) by electrostatic attraction.  
🗑
Single Covalent Bond   Bond where nonmetals share a pair (2) of electrons.  
🗑
Double Covalent Bond   Bond where nonmetals share two pairs (4) of electrons.  
🗑
Triple Covalent Bond   Bond where nonmetals share three pairs (6) of electrons.  
🗑
Nonpolar Covalent Bond   Bond where electrons are shared equally by bonded atoms.  
🗑
Polar Covalent Bond   Bond where electrons are shared unequally by bonded atoms.  
🗑
Electrostatic Attraction   Force between atoms of opposite charges, holds atoms together in ionic bonds.  
🗑
0.0 – 0.5   Electronegativity difference in a nonpolar covalent bond.  
🗑
0.5-1.5   Electronegativity difference in a polar covalent bond.  
🗑
> 1.5   Electronegativity difference in an ionic bond.  
🗑
Polyatomic Ions   Ions made of more than one atom.  
🗑
Metallic Bonding   Bond resulting from the attraction of metal atoms and the sea of electrons.  
🗑
Crystal Lattice   The unique repeating pattern in the arrangement of atoms in an ionic compound.  
🗑
Delocalized Electrons   Electrons that are not associated with a single atom or one covalent bond.  
🗑
Salt   Ionic compound, produced by electron transfer of nonmetal and metal atom.  
🗑
Dissociate   Ionic compounds dissociate (separate) when dissolved in water.  
🗑
Electrolyte   Solution of ionic compound which conducts electricity.  
🗑
Intermolecular Force   Holds different molecules together. Fights against molecular motion holding molecules in place. Present in solids and liquids, nearly absent in gasses.  
🗑
Molecular Motion   Temperature-dependent movement of molecules. Fights against intermolecular forces.  
🗑


   

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.
