Term
Definition
Electronegativity   the ability of an atom in an element to attract electrons in an compound  
🗑
Valence electrons   the electrons in the highest occupies level of an elements atoms  
🗑
Electron dot structures   Diagrams that show valence electrons in the atoms of an element as dots.  
🗑
Ions   an atom or molecule with a net charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons  
🗑
molecule   a neutral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds  
🗑
The octet rule   states that in forming compounds, atoms tend to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas  
🗑
Halide ion   a halogen atom bearing a negative charge  
🗑
Ionic compound   a compound composed of cations and anions. Electrically neutral.  
🗑
Ionic bond   The electrostatic forces that hold ions together in ionic compounds  
🗑
Chemical formula   Shows the number of atoms in each element in the smallest representative unit of a substance.  
🗑
formula unit   the lowest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound  
🗑
The coordination number of an ion   the number of ions of opposite charges that surround the ion in a crystal.  
🗑
Metallic bond   the forces of attraction between the free-floating valence electrons and the positively charged (cations) metal ions.  
🗑
Alloys   mixtures of two or more elements, at least one in which is a metal.  
🗑
covalent bonds   atoms that are held together by sharing electrons are joined by this  
🗑
diatomic molecule   a molecule that contains two atoms  
🗑
molecular compound   a compound composed of molecules  
🗑
molecular formula   the chemical formula of a molecular compound  
🗑
single covalent formed   two atoms held together by sharing one pair of electrons are joined by this  
🗑
structural formula   represents the covalent bonds as dashes and shows the arrangement of covalently bonded atoms.  
🗑
unshared pair   A pair of valence electrons that is not shared between atoms  
🗑
double covalent bond   a bond that involves two shared pairs of electrons  
🗑
triple covalent bond   a bond formed by sharing three pairs of electrons  
🗑
coordinate covalent bond   a covalent bond in which one atom contributes boht bonding electrons  
🗑
polyatomic ion   a tightly bound group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge and behaves as a unit  
🗑
bond dissociation energy   the energy required to break the bond between two covalently bonded atoms  
🗑
nonpolar covalent bond   when the atoms in the bond pull equally, the bonding electrons are shared equally and each bond formed is this  
🗑
polar covalent bond   a covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared equally  
🗑
polar molecule   one end of the molecule is slightly negative and the other end is slightly positive  
🗑
dipole   a molecule that has two poles is called a dipolar molecule or this  
🗑
van der Waales forces   the two weakest attractions between two molecules are collectively called this named after the dutch chemist.  
🗑
dipole interaction   this occurs when polar molecules are attracted to one another  
🗑
dispersion force   the weakest of all molecular interactions are caused by electrons  
🗑
hydrogen bonds   are attractive forces in which a hydrogen covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom  
🗑
network solid   solids in which all of the atoms are covalently bonded to each other.  
🗑


   

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.
