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

Term
Definition
Octet Rule   Atoms will gain, lose or share electrons in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration  
🗑
Lone pair   Pair of valence electrons that are not involved in covalent bond formation  
🗑
Single Bond   A par of electrons shared by two atoms  
🗑
Multiple bond   A chemical bond in which two atoms share two or more pair of electrons  
🗑
Double bond   A multiple bond in which the atoms share two pair of electrons  
🗑
Triple bond   A multiple bond in which the atoms share three pairs of electrons  
🗑
Enthalpy   A thermodynamic quantity closely related to energy  
🗑
Central atom   An atom that is bonded to more than one atom  
🗑
Polar   Electrons are shared but not shared equally  
🗑
Polar covalent bonds   Bonds in which electrons are unequally shared  
🗑
Electronegativity   The ability of an atom to attract an electron pair in a covalent bond to itself (increases across a period, decreases down a group)*similar to atomic radius trend  
🗑
Low electronegativity   Formation of cations  
🗑
High electronegativity   Formation of anions  
🗑
Nonpolar   Having a uniform distribution of electron density. Bonds between atoms whose electronegativities differ by less than 0.5 =purely covalent/nonpolar  
🗑
Polar covalent   Bonds between atoms whose electronegativities range of 0.5-2.0  
🗑
Ionic bonds   Bonds between atoms whose electronegativity differ by 2.0 or more  
🗑
Dipole moment (μ)   Quantitative measurement of the polarity of a bond. μ= charge (Q) x distance (r) between charges  
🗑
Formal charge   Method of electron "bookkeeping" in which shared electrons are divided equally between that atoms that share them  
🗑
Resonance structure   Two or more equally valid Lewis structures for a single molecule that differ only in electron positions  
🗑
Incomplete octet   Atoms with less than 4 valence electrons  
🗑
Octet expansion   When more than eight electrons can be accommodated around the central atom. For 3rd period elements and above. (D orbitals)  
🗑
Coordinate covalent bond/Dative bond   Bond in which one of the atoms donates both electrons  
🗑
Molecules with ODD number of electrons   When total number of electrons is odd, not all the atoms will have complete octets, and there must be an UNPAIRED electron in the molecule  
🗑
Free radicals   Molecules (species) with an odd number of electrons. Very reactive  
🗑
Bond length   Distance between the nuclei of two atoms joined by a covalent bond  
🗑
Atomic size   As atomic size increases bond length increases  
🗑
Bond strength   The shorter the bond length the the stronger the bond strength  
🗑


   

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.
