Question
Answer
molecular orbital with an enery that is higher than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed   Antibonding orbital  
🗑
the amount of energy required to break a covalent bond between atoms; this value is usually expressed in kJ per mol of substance   Bond dissociation energy  
🗑
molecular orbital whose energy is lower than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed   Bonding orbital  
🗑
a covalent bond formed when one atom contributes both bonding electrons   Coordinate covalent bond  
🗑
a substance that is weakly repelled by a magnetic field   Diamagnetic  
🗑
a molecule that has two elecrically charged regions or poles   Dipole  
🗑
a weak intermolecular force resulting from the attraction of oppositely charged regions of polar molecules   Dipole interaction  
🗑
the weakest kind of intermolecular attraction; this attraction is thought to be caused by the motion of electrons   Dispersion force  
🗑
a covalent bond is which two pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms   Double covalent bond  
🗑
process in which several atomic orbitals mix to form the same number of equivalent hybrid orbitals   Hybridization  
🗑
relatively strong intermolecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom is also weakly bonded to an unshared electron pair of another electronegative atom in the same molecule or one nearby   Hydrogen bond  
🗑
an orbit resulting from the overlapping of atomic orbitals when two atoms combine   Molecular orbit  
🗑
substance in which all of the atomes are covalently bonded to eachother   Network solid  
🗑
bond formed when the atoms in a molecule are alike and the bonding electrons are shared equally   Nonpolar covalent bond  
🗑
a term used to describe a substance that shows a relatively strong attraction to an external magnetic field; these substances have molecules containing one of more unpaired electrons   Paramagnetic  
🗑
a bond in which the bonding electrons are most likely to be found in the sausage-shaped regions above and below the nuclei of the bonded atoms   Pi bond  
🗑
a bond formed when two diffrent atoms are joined by a covalent bond and the bonding elecrons are shared unequally   Polar bond  
🗑
a bond formed when two diffrent atoms are joined by a covalent bond and the bonding elecrons are shared unequally   Polar covalent bond  
🗑
a molecule,like water, in which one or more atoms is slightly negative and one or more is slightly positive, unless molecular geometry causes the polarities to cancel each other out   Polar molecule  
🗑
one of two or more equally valid electron dot structures for a molecule or polyatomic ion; the actual bonding is a hybrid, or mixture of the resonance structures   Resonance structure  
🗑
a bond formed when two atomic orbitals combine to form a molecular orbital that is symmertrical along the axis connecting the two atomic nuclei   Sigma bond  
🗑
a bond formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms   Single covalent bond  
🗑
chemical formula that shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule or a polyatomic ion; each dash between two atoms indicates a pair of shared electrons   Structural formula  
🗑
a bond angle of 109.5 degrees created when a central atom forms four bonds directed toward the corners of a regular tetrahedron   Tetrahedral angle  
🗑
covalent bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms   Triple covalent bond  
🗑
a pair of valence electrons that is not involved in bonding   Unshared pair  
🗑
a term used to describe the weakest intermolecular attractions; these include dispersion forces and dipole interactions   Van der Waals force  
🗑
valence-shell electron-pair repulsion theory: because electron pairs repel, molecules adjust thier shapes so that valence-electron pairs are as far apart as possible   VSEPR theory  
🗑

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.
