Question 1

Double Bond

Answer 1

Covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms

Question 2

Hypervalent Molecule

Answer 2

Molecule containing at least one main group element that has more than eight electrons in its valence shell

Question 3

Lewis Stucture

Answer 3

Diagram showing lone pairs and bonding pairs of electrons in a molecule or an ion

Question 4

Lewis Symbol

Answer 4

Symbol for an element or monatomic ion that uses a dot to represent each valence electron in the element or ion

Question 5

Lone Pair

Answer 5

Two valence electrons in a molecule or ion; structure that includes only the placement of the atoms in the molecule

Question 6

Octet Rule

Answer 6

Guideline that states main group atoms will form structures in which eight valence electrons interact with each nucleus, counting bonding electrons as interacting with both atoms connected by the bond

Answer 8

Bond in which a single pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

Question 9

Triple Bond

Answer 9

Bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
