chapter 5 Alyssa Flashcards
Chemical structure
Arrangement of atoms in a substance
Chemical Bond
Force that holds atoms or ions together
Bond length
Distance between two bonded atoms at their minimum potential energy
Bond angle
Angle formed by two bond stop the same atom
Hydrogen bond
Force when hydrogen atom that is bonded to another atom of one molecule
Ionic bond
Bond formed by the attraction between oppositely charged ions
Metallic bond
Bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and electrons
Covalent bond
Bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
Polyatomic ion
Ion made of two or more atoms
Formula unit
formula of any ionic or covalent network solid compound used as an independent entity
Nonpolar covalent bond
with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
Polar covalent bond
electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average
Empirical formula
Composition of a compound of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms
Molecular formula
Chemical formula that shows number and kinds of atoms in a molecule
Organic compound
Bonded compound that contains carbon
