Chapter 14 Flashcards
What is a group of two or more atoms linked by chemical bonds to form distinct units?
molecule
What is a combination of chemical symbols and numbers showing the type and number of atoms in each compound?
chemical formula
What are substances composed of atoms of two or more elements bonded together?
compound
What is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule?
molecular mass
What are molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas?
isomer
What is a substance that has the same physical properties throughout and consists of only one type of atom, one type of molecule, or one nonmolecular compound; all pure substances are either elements or compounds?
pure substance
What is a three-dimensional representation of a molecule that shows its shape and position of its atoms?
molecular model
What is a substance that is composed of several pure substances that are physically mixed but not chemically united?
mixture
What is a homogeneous mixture that exists because of attraction between atoms, molecules or ions?
solution
What is a substance in a solution that is dissolved?
solute
What is a substance in a solution that does the dissolving?
solvent
What is a substance that has the same physical properties throughout?
homogeneous
What describes a mixture in which the molecules of the mixed substances are not completely mixed?
heterogeneous
What is a mixture containing tiny suspended clumps or particles?
colloid
What is a heterogenous mixture whose particles are large enough that they will settle?
suspension
What is an attractive force that links atoms to form molecules and compounds?
chemical bond
What is the most important factor affecting how chemical bonds form?
the number of electrons in the valence shell
What is a chemical bond resulting from the sharing of electrons between atoms?
covalent bond
What does a covalent bond typically form between?
two nonmetals
What is a covalent bond involving the sharing of a single pair of electrons?
single bond
What is a covalent bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons?
double bond
What is covalent bond in which three paris of electrons are shared?
triple bond
What is a diagram showing the locations of all the atoms and valence elctrons in a molecule or ion?
Lewis structure
What describes electrons that are part of more than one chemical bond, being shared by more than two atoms?
delocalized
What is the property of an element that describes how strongly atoms of that element pull on electrons in chemical bonds?
electronegativity
What is a covalent bond in which both atoms share their electrons and the electrons are not pulled closer to one atom than to the other?
nonpolar bond
What is a covalent bond in which the more electronegative atom pulles the shared electrons toward itself?
polar bond
What is a charge less than that of a proton or electron?
partial charge
What is a molecule that has opposite partial charges on opposite ends of the molecule; one end of a polar molecule has a negative partial charge, and the other end has a positive partial charge?
polar molecule
What is any two-atom molecule with a polar bond?
a polar molecule
What is a substance consisting of atoms covalently bonded into a large structure that does not contain a specific number of atoms?
covalent network
What is the simplest ratio of atoms in a covalent network (or any other nonmolecular compound)?
formula unit
