Bonds And Intermolecular Forces Flashcards
Electron repulsion between the valence level electron pairs surrounding an atom causes these pairs to be oriented as far apart as possible.
VSPER
A substance consisting of atoms by covalent bonds into a crystalline structure.
Network covalent substance
A large crystal formed by network covalent structure.
Macromolecules
The combining of atomic orbitals of similar energies on the same atom to provide special orbitals of equal energy for the purpose of bonding.
Hybridization
A covalently bonded group of atoms with an overall positive or negative charge.
Polyatomic ion
Intermolecular forces stronger than dipole-dipole forces.
Hydrogen bonds
Collective name for all intermolecular forces.
Van der Waals force
Any bonding situation that cannot be properly represent by a single Lewis structure.
Resonance
Forces of attraction between dipoles of polar covalent molecules.
Dipole-dipole
The intermolecular attractions resulting from electron motion and the creation of instantaneous, induced dipoles.
London dispersion forces
Cloud delocalized mobile electrons.
Electron sea
Bond between cations and anions.
Ionic bond
Permanent change in shape.
Deformation
Ionic character less than 5 percent (electronegativity difference less than 0.3).
Non polar covalent bond
Bond between positive metal ion and mobile electrons.
Metallic bond
