2.2

Question 1

Bond Order

Answer 1

Number of pairs of electrons between two atoms; it can be found by the number of bonds in a Lewis structure or by the difference between the number of bonding and antibonding electrons divided by two

Question 2

Bond Length

Answer 2

Distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms at which the lowest potential energy is between

Question 3

Bond energy

Answer 3

Energy required to break a covalent bond in a gaseous substance

Question 4

Coulomb’s law

Answer 4

Describes the amount of force due to electric charge repulsion or attraction. The force is equal to Coulomb’s constant (9*109 Nm2/C2) times the two interacting charges divided by the distance between the charges squared

Question 5

Intermolecular Force

Answer 5

Non covalent attractive force between atoms sharing electrons

Question 6

Ionic Radius

Answer 6

The distance between the nucleus of an ion and the edge of its electron cloud

Question 7

Lattice Energy

Answer 7

Energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid into its component gaseous ions

Question 8

Potential Energy

Answer 8

Energy of a particle or system of particles derived from relative position, composition, or condition
