Chapter 6 and 7 (Ionic and Covalent Bonding & Shapes of Molecules and Intermolecular Forces) Flashcards
Define water of crystallisation
Water of crystallisation is water chemically combined in definite proportions in a crystalline compound.
Define octet rule
Octet rule states that atoms on reaction tend to reach an electron arrangement with eight electrons in the outermost energy level.
Define valency
The valency of an element is the number of bonds an atom of the element forms when it reacts.
Define an ionic bond
An ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions
Define covalent bond
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons
Define electronegativity
Electronegativity is the relative attraction of an atom for shared pairs of electrons in a covalent bond
