Chapter 5- Structure Of Matter Flashcards
Chemical bon
A force holding atoms and ions together
Chemical structure
Arrangement of atoms in substance
Bong length
Distance between nuclei
Bong angles
Tells how the atoms are placed
Hydrogen bonds
An oxygen atom is attracted to a hydrogen atom an a different molecule
Ionic bond
A bond formed between opposite charged ions
Metallic bond
Formed between two positive charged metal ions and electrons surrounding them
Covalent bond
Atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
Polyatomic ion
Ion made of two or more atoms
Formula unit
Na+ and Cl- make up NaCl(sodium chloride)
Nonpolar covalent bond
Electrons are equally attracted to positive nucleus
Polar covalent bond
Unequal sharing of electrons
Empirical formula
Simplest formula, composition in terms of relative numbers and kinds of atoms in simplest ratio
Molecular formula
Shows the number and kinds of atoms, but not the arrangement
Organic compound
Contains carbon excluding carbonates and oxides.
