🗑
What is the electronegativity when 2 atoms are covalent and nonpolar?   0.4 or less  
🗑
What is the electronegativity when 2 atoms are covalent and polar?   0.4< X < 2.0  
🗑
What is the electronegativity when 2 atoms are ionic?   < 2.0  
🗑
Many common ions have the electron configuration of a noble gas. True or False.   True  
🗑
T/F. In a Lew dot diagram, the dots represent [atomic nuclei].   False. Valence electrons.  
🗑
T/F. Negatively charged ions are [cations].   False. Anions.  
🗑
T/F. The atoms that make up a sulfate ion are held together by [covalent] bonds.   True.  
🗑
T/F. To emphasize the ratio of ions in a compound, chemists use a [structural formula].   False. Empirical formula.  
🗑
T/F. Atoms share electrons in an [ionic] bond.   False. Covalent  
🗑
T/F. [Molecules]are composed entirely of ions.   False. Ionic compounds.  
🗑
T/F. The name of the [cation] usually comes first in the name of an ionic compound.   True.  
🗑
T/F. A covalent bond may be polar or [ionic].   False. Nonpolar  
🗑
Describe an ionic bond.   Chemical bond between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion resulting from the transfer of electrons from one bonding atom to another.  
🗑
Describe a covalent bond.   Chemical bond resulting from the sharing of electrons between two bonding atoms.  
🗑
Describe an ionic compound.   A compound that is composed entirely of ions.  
🗑
Describe a cation.   A positively charged ion.  
🗑
Describe an anion.   A negatively charged ion.  
🗑
Describe the octet rule.   The rule that states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of valence electrons.  
🗑
Describe monatomic ions.   One atom ions.  
🗑
Describe polyatomic ions.   Two or more atom ions.  
🗑
Describe binary ionic compounds.   Compounds that contain the ions of only two elemens.  
🗑
Describe an empirical formula.   The formula used to denote the ratio of ions in a compound.  
🗑
Describe a molecule.   A group of atoms that are united by covalent bonds.  
🗑
Describe a molecular substance.   A substance that is made of only molecules.  
🗑
Describe a molecular formula.   The formula used to describe the compostion of a molecular compound.  
🗑
Describe a structural formula.   The formula that specifies which atoms are bonded to each other in a molecule.  
🗑
Describe Lewis structures.   Based on the Lewis dot diagram for atoms but used to describe covalent bonds.  
🗑
Describe an unshared pair.   Pairs of electrons in an atom involved in covalent bonds that are not shared in bonds.  
🗑
Single bonds   2 atoms share exactly one pair of electrons  
🗑
double bonds   consists of two pairs of shared electrons  
🗑
triple bonds   consists of three pairs of shared electrons  
🗑
polar   when one atom is significantly more electronegative than another in a covalent bond  
🗑
nonpolar   when 2 atomshave similar or equal electronegativites and they both exert approximately equal pull on the electrons in the bond.  
🗑
hydrates   ionic compounds that absorb water into their solid structures  
🗑
anhydrous substances   water-free substances  
🗑
Why are many elements more stable as ions than they are as atoms?   In their ionic form, they have the same electron configuration as the previous noble gas, which are unreactive.  
🗑
Why are some covalent bonds polar and others nonpolar   Because the elements have varying electronegativites.  
🗑
