8.4 Flashcards
nonpolar covalent bond
when the atoms in a bond pull equally and the bondingelectrons are shared equally
the bonding pairs of electrons in covalent bnods are pulled by their
nulei
polar covalent bond
covalent bond in which the electrons are shared unequally
the more electronegative atom attracts electrons
more strongly and gains a negative chage
polar molecule
one end is slightly negative and one end is slightly positive
dipolar molecule
a molecule that has two poles
intermolecular attractions are
weaker than ionic or covalent bonds
van der waals force
weakest attraction between molecules
dipole attraction
when polar molecules are attracted to one another
dispersion forces
weakest of all molecular attraction, caused by motion of electrons
hydrogen bonds
musthave dipole, must have EN atonm, hydrogen must be bonded to an EN atom
network solids
solids in which all of the atms are covalently bonded to eachother, do not melt unless 1000 C or higher
example of network solid
diamond
