CHAPTER 2.2 Flashcards
force of attraction that holds together ions with opposite charges
IONIC BOND
An ionic compound that breaks apart into positive and negative ions in solution is called an
ELECTROLYTE
two or more atoms share electrons rather than gaining or losing them
COVALENT BOND
results when two atoms share one electron pair.
SINGLE COVALENT BOND
two atoms share two pairs of electrons
DOUBLE COVALENT BOND
two atoms share the electrons equally— one atom does not attract the shared electrons more strongly than the other atom.
NONPOLAR COVALENT BOND
the sharing of electrons between two atoms is unequal
POLAR BOND
the power to attract electrons to itself. At least one other atom in the molecule then will have a partial positive charge.
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
forms when a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge (δ+) attracts the partial negative charge (δ−) of neighboring electronegative atoms,
HYDROGEN BOND
a measure of the difficulty of stretching or breaking the surface of a liquid
SURFACE TENSION
