Chemistry-Ch6-SpeakingOfMolecules

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
molecular formula   the chemical formula of a molecular substance, showing the identity of the atoms in each molecule and the ratios of those atoms to one another  
🗑
structural formula   a 2-D drawing or diagram that shows how the atoms in a molecule are connected. Each line represents a covalent bond.  
🗑
isomer   compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Isomers differ in molecular structure and in chemical and physical properties  
🗑
HONC 1234 rule   a rule that states that in most molecules, hydrogen makes1 bond, oxygen makes 2 bonds, nitrogen makes 3 bonds, and carbon makes 4 bonds  
🗑
Lewis dot structure   a diagram that shows a molecule's structure by using dots to represent the valence electrons  
🗑
Lewis dot symbol   a diagram that uses dots to represent the valence electrons of a single atom  
🗑
bonded pair   a pair of electrons that are shared in a covalent bond between two atoms  
🗑
lone pair   a pair of unshared valence electrons that are not involved in bonding in a molecule  
🗑
octet rule   nonmetal atoms combine by sharing electrons so that each atom has a total of eight valence electrons. After bonding, each atom resembles a nobel gas in its electron arrangements  
🗑
double bond   a covalent bond where four electrons are shared between two atoms  
🗑
triple bond   a covalent bond in which three electron pairs are shared between two atoms.  
🗑
functional group   a structural feature of a molecule; consists of a specific arrangement of atoms, responsible for certain properties of the compound  
🗑
chemical reaction   a transformation that alters the composition of one or more substances such that one or more new substances with new properties are produced.  
🗑
synthesis reaction   the creation of one product from multiple reactants  
🗑
chemical equation   a representation of a chemical reaction wirtten with chemical symbols and formulas  
🗑
reactant   the starting material in a chemical reaction that is transformed into products during the reaction  
🗑
product   a substance produced as the result of a chemical reaction  
🗑
catalyst   a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction but is itself not permenantly consumed or altered by the reaction  
🗑


   

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.
