Question
Answer
Octet Rule   A concept of chemical bonding theory that is based on the assumption that atoms tend to have either empty valence shell of eight electrons  
🗑
Ion   An atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positve charge  
🗑
Cation   An ion that has a positive charge  
🗑
Anion   An ion that has a negative charge  
🗑
Salt   An ionic compound that forms when a metal atom or a positive radical replaces the hydrogen of an acid  
🗑
Lattice Energy   The energy associated with constructing a crystal lattice relative to the energy of all constituent atoms separated by infinate distances  
🗑
Crystal Lattice   The regular pattern in which a crystal is arranged  
🗑
Unit Cell   The smallest portion of a crystal lattice that shows the three-dimensional pattern of the entire lattice  
🗑
Polyatomic Ion   An ion made of two or more atoms  
🗑
Covalent Bond   A bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons  
🗑
Molecular Orbital   The region of high probability that is occupied by an individual electron as it travels wth a wavelike motion in the three-dimentional space around one of two or more associated nuceli  
🗑
Bond Length   The distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy; the average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms  
🗑
Bond Energy   The energey required to break the bonds in 1 mol of a chemical compound  
🗑
Nonpolar Covalent bond   A covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are equally attracted to both bonded atoms  
🗑
Polar Covalent Bond   A covalent bond in which a shared pair of electrons is held more closely by one of the atoms  
🗑
Dipole   A molecule or part of a molecule that contains both positively and negativly charged regions  
🗑
Valence Electron   An electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atoms chemical properties  
🗑
Lewis Structure   A structural formula in which electrons are represented by dots; dot pairs or dashes detween two atomic symbols represent pairs in covalent bonds  
🗑
Unshared Pairs   A nonbonding pair of electrons in the valence shell of an atom; also called the lone pair  
🗑
Single Bond   A covalent bond in which two atoms share one pair of electrons  
🗑
Double Bond   A covalent bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons  
🗑
Triple Bond   A covalent bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons  
🗑
Resonance Structure   in chemistry, any one of two or more possible confugratios of the same compound that have identical geometry but different arrangements of electrons  
🗑
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory   A thoeory that predicts some molecular shapes based on the idea that pairs of valence electrons surrounding and atom repel 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.
