Bob Jones Chemistry - Chapter 6

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

Term
Definition
alloy   A mixture of a metal's atoms with another element. It has metallic properties.  
🗑
chemical bond   A force of attraction produced by transferring or sharing electrons that holds atoms together in compounds.  
🗑
covalent bond   Two atoms held together by their mutual attraction for the same pair of electrons. It usually involves two nonmetals.  
🗑
crystal lattice   An extensive three-dimensional structure that represents the regular pattern of atoms or ions.  
🗑
delocalized electron   An electron that can move between several different bonds; in benzene, and electron that can move throughout circular spaces above and below the plane of bonded nuclei.  
🗑
electron-sea theory   A theory that offers an explanation of how metals bond: the valence electrons of atoms are said to be freely shared among all atoms; also called the free-electron theory.  
🗑
electrostatic force   The field force exerted by electrical changes. It may be repulsive or attractive depending on the kinds of charges interacting.  
🗑
formula unit   The simplest ratio of elements in an ionic compound that describes its composition.  
🗑
ionic bond   The attraction and electron transfer between two oppositely charged ions in a solid. It usually involves a metal and a nonmetal.  
🗑
Lewis structure   A two-dimensional diagram that uses element symbols and dots to show the bonds between different atoms.  
🗑
metallic bond   A communal sharing of electrons between metal atoms.  
🗑
network covalent substance   Atoms covalently bonded into a continuous three-dimensional network, such as diamond.  
🗑
octet rule   The rule that an atom tends to gain, lose, or share electrons until its outer level s and p orbitals are filled with eight electrons. This activity gives an element the electron configuration and stability of a noble gas.  
🗑
polarity   The tendency of an object to form two localized poles of opposite character. In chemistry, polarity relates to electrical charge.  
🗑
polyatomic ion   A group of atoms that maintains a constant electrical charge while existing as a unit in a wide variety of chemical reactions, such as SO 4 2-.  
🗑


   

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.
