Term
Definition
Chemical Bond   a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that bind atoms together  
🗑
Covalent Bonding   results from sharing of electron pairs between two atoms  
🗑
Ionic Bonding   chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between large number of cations and anions  
🗑
Non-polar Covalent Bond   a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical charge  
🗑
Polar   uneven distribution of charge  
🗑
Polar-Covalent Bond   a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attractions for the shared electrons  
🗑
Bond Energy   the energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms  
🗑
Bond Length   the distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy, that is, the average distance between two bonded atoms  
🗑
Chemical Formula   indicates the relative numbers of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numerical subscripts  
🗑
Diatomic Model   a molecule containing only tow atoms  
🗑
Double Bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms  
🗑
Electron-Dot Notation   an electron configuration notation in which only the valence electrons of an atom of a particular element are shown, indicated by dots placed around the system's element  
🗑
Lewis Structure   formulas in which atomic symbols represent nuclei and inner-shell electrons, dot-pairs or dashes between two atomic symbols represent electron pairs in covalent bonds, and dots adjacent to only one atomic symbol represent unshared electrons  
🗑
Lone Pair(Unshared Pair)   a pair of electrons that is not involved in bonding and that belongs exclusively to one atom  
🗑
Molecular Compound   a chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules  
🗑
Molecular Formula   shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of molecular compound  
🗑
Molecule   a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
Multiple bond   double and triple bonds  
🗑
Octet rule   chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons in its highest occupied energy level  
🗑
Resonance   refers to bonding molecules or ions that cannot be correctly represented by a single Lewis Structure  
🗑
Single Bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms  
🗑
Structural Formula   indicates the kind, number, arrangement, and bonds but not the unshared pairs of atoms in a molecule  
🗑
Triple Bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms  
🗑
Formula Unit   the simplest collection of atoms where an ionic compound's formula can be established  
🗑
Ionic Compound   composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of negative and positive charges are equal  
🗑
Lattice Energy   the energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions  
🗑
Polyatomic Ion   a charged group of covalently bonded atoms  
🗑
