Ch 7 Flashcards
Chemical bond
Force that holds two atoms together
Cation
Positively charged ion. No dog ion
Anion
Negative ion
Ionic bond
Electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged ions together
Ionic compounds
Compounds held together by ionic bonds
Crystal lattice
3D geometric arrangement of particles. Each positive ion surrounded by negative, each negative surrounded by positive.
Electrolyte
Ionic compound when as liquid conducts electricity
Lattice energy
Energy required to separate 1 mole of the ions in a crystal lattice
Formula unit
Simplest ratio of atoms in an ionic compound
Monatomic ion
One atom ion
Oxidation number/state
Charge of a monatomic ion
Polyatomic ion
Ions made of more than 1 atom
Oxyanion
Polyatomic ion made of an element bonded to oxygen
Electron sea model
All metal atoms in metallic solid contribute valence electrons to make a sea of electrons
Delocalized electrons
Electrons in outer energy levels of bonding metals. Can move easily around
Metallic bond
Attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons
Alloy
Mixture of elements with metallic properties
