Bonding:Intramolecular (slides #1-30) Flashcards
1
Q
intramolecular
A
within the molecule (the bonds between atoms)
2
Q
chemical bonds
A
- attractive force between atoms or ions
- chemical changes are due to changes in bonds.
- in an atom, the protons in the nucleus and the electrons are held together by attractive forces.
3
Q
chemical bonds are caused by
A
the attraction of one atom’s nucleus to another atom/ion’s electrons.
4
Q
its can only be a molecule
A
if it is covalently bonded, nonmetals only.
5
Q
potential energy
A
stored in the bonds between atoms or ions.
6
Q
chemical energy
A
energy involved in making and breaking of bonds
7
Q
energy changes in bonding
A
- when 2 atoms are bonded to each other they are at a LOWER and more stable potential energy level if it is a STABLE bond
- unstable bonds will have higher potential energy than the original atoms
8
Q
when strong bonds form, it is an _________ reaction, and the products have _____potential energy
A
exothermic reaction, less
