Regents Chem Bonding

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
molecular compound   compound with covalent bonds containing nonmetals and/or semi-metals  
🗑
ionic compound   compound with ionic bonds; usually between metals and nonmetals that transferred electrons.  
🗑
covalent bonds   Bond formed when nonmetals and/or semi-metals share electrons  
🗑
coordinant covalent bonds   covalent bonds where the 2 shared electrons come from the same atom. Hydronium (H3O+) and ammonium (NH4+) contain this special type of bond.  
🗑
polar molecules   molecule with an uneven distribution of electrons. Positive and negative regions exist  
🗑
nonpolar molecules   molecule with even distribution of electrons due to its SYMMETRY.  
🗑
network bonding/network solid   strongest intermolecular force. Covalent bonds continue in all directions. Ex. Diamond, graphite and silicon dioxide, silicon carbide  
🗑
metallic bonding   nuclei surrounded by a “sea of moving electrons’ – this is why metals conduct.  
🗑
intermolecular forces   attractive forces between molecules, the stronger they are, the higher the boiling and melting points will be  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   strong attraction between certain polar molecules containing hydrogen bonded to small, highly electronegative elements like N, O and F  
🗑
molecule ion attractions   polar molecules are attracted to ionic compounds. This is how water dissolves salts, by attacking and surrounding the ions  
🗑
octet rule   all elements want 8 valence electrons to become stable. H and He only require 2 electrons (duet rule)  
🗑
ion   a charged element or compound, formed by a gain or loss of electrons  
🗑
cation   The special name for a positive ion; "MEOW"  
🗑
anion   A-Negative ION  
🗑
formula unit   a single piece of an ionic compound  
🗑
formula   represents a compound, using element symbols and their subscripts  
🗑
electronegativity   ability to attract electrons  
🗑
polar covalent bond   unequal sharing of electrons; END is 0.4-2.0  
🗑
nonpolar covalent bond   equal sharing of electrons, usually in diatomic molecules; END 0-0.3  
🗑
diatomic element   7 elements that cannot exist alone in nature. They bond to themselves (ex: F2)  
🗑
structural formula   Shows bonded and non-bonded e's, element symbols, and the geometry of a molecule  
🗑
unshared (lone) electron pair   Non-bonded electrons. These repel all bonded e's and change symmetry of a molecule.  
🗑
symmetry   A molecule with evenly distributed e's  
🗑
Has both ionic and covalent bonds   Any ionic compound that has a table E ion in it. (the polyatomic ion contains covalent bonds, but the overall bonding is ionic)  
🗑


   

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.
