Question
Answer
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 bond   a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together  
🗑
chemical formula   a formula that indicates the relative numbers of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numericalsubscripts  
🗑
covalent bonding   a chemical bond resulting from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms  
🗑
diatomic molecule   a molecule containing only two atoms  
🗑
dipole   equal but opposite charges that are separated by a short distance  
🗑
dipole-dipole force   a force of attraction between polar molecules  
🗑
double bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of two pairs of electronsbetween two atoms  
🗑
ductility   the ability of a substance to be drawn, pulled, or extruded through asmall opening to produce a wire  
🗑
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 element’s symbol  
🗑
formula unit   the simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic compound’s formula can be established  
🗑
hybrid orbitals   orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom  
🗑
hybridization   the mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of similar energies onthe same atom to produce new orbitals of equal energies  
🗑
hydrogen bonding   the intermolecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to an unshared pair ofelectrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule  
🗑
intermolecular force   the force of attraction between molecules  
🗑
ionic bonding   the chemical bond resulting from electrical attraction between large numbers of cations and anions  
🗑
ionic compound   a compound composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal  
🗑
lattice energy   the energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions  
🗑
Lewis structure   a formula in which atomic symbols represent nuclei and innershell electrons, dot-pairs or dashes between two atomic symbols representelectron pairs in covalent bonds, and dots adjacent to only one atomic symbolrepresent unshared electrons  
🗑
London Dispersion Force   an intermolecular attraction resulting from thec onstant motion of electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles  
🗑
lone pair   a pair of electrons that is not involved in bonding and that belongs exclusively to one atom  
🗑
malleability   the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheets  
🗑
metallic bonding   chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons  
🗑
molecular compound   a chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules  
🗑
molecular formula   a formula showing the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound  
🗑
molecular polarity   the uneven distribution of molecular charge  
🗑
molecule   a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
multiple bond   a double or triple bond  
🗑
nonpolar-covalent bond   a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution ofelectrical charge  
🗑
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 occupiedenergy level  
🗑
polar   having an uneven distribution of charge  
🗑
polar-covalent bond   a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons  
🗑
polyatomic ion   a charged group of covalently bonded atoms  
🗑
resonance   the bonding in molecules or ions that cannot be correctly representedby a single Lewis structure  
🗑
single bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of one pair of electronsbetween two atoms  
🗑
structual formula   a formula that indicates the kind, number, arrangement, andbonds but not the unshared electron pairs of the atoms in a molecule  
🗑
triple bond   a covalent bond produced by the sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms  
🗑
unshared pair   a pair of electrons that is not involved in bonding and that belongs exclusively to one atom  
🗑
VSEPR Theory   repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart aspossible  
🗑
Ionic compounds have (low, high) melting points   high  
🗑
boxes are used to demonstrate ______   sharing  
🗑
unshared electrons exert   a very powerful repulsive force.  
🗑
what determines bond length   potential energy  
🗑
