Chapter 3 Flashcards
Chemical bond
is the force of attraction between any two atoms in a compound
Lewis symbol
uses atomic symbol to represent the nucleus and core electrons and dots to represent valence electrons
Ionic Bonding
involves a transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.
Covalent bonding
involves a sharing of electrons
Ionic Bond
is the electrostatic force, the attraction of opposite charges resulting cation and anion
Crystal Lattice
Positive and negative ions arrange themselves in a regular three-dimensional repeating array to produce a stable arrangement
Covalent compounds consists of?
compounds containing only covalent bonds
Molecules
are neutral (uncharged) species made up of two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds
List the most obvious examples of diatomic molecules?
H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
Polar Covalent Bond
diatomic molecule composed of two different elements, not sharing electrons equally
Electronegativity
measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond
Monatomic Ions
ions consisting of a single atom
Polyatomic ions
an example: OH- hydroxide ion, are composed of two or more atoms bonded together. These ions, although bonded to other ions with ionic bonds, are themselves held together by covalent bonds.
Melting point
temperature at which a solid is converted to a liquid
boiling point
is the temperature at which a liquid is covered to a gas a specified pressure
