Chem Notes Mod 3 Flashcards
What is crystalline
A material with a long range highly ordered lattice
What is Amorphous
This has no overall order in the extended structure
What is a molecule
Molecules are a collection of atoms bound together
What is a molecular substance?
Any substance composed of distinct molecules
Ionic Bonds
Ionic Bonds are formed by the attraction of ions with opposite charges
What are Ions bound together in?
The electrostatic force.
what is electronic force controlled by?
Coulomb’s law.
What is Coulomb’s law
This is the strength of the attraction where the smaller the distance and the larger the charges the stronger the force holding oppositely charged Ions Together
What is lattice energy
The sum of The Ionic Bonds in a lattice
What is cleaving?
When you break a crystal along a perfectly straight plane.
What is covalent Bond?
This is a type of bonding that occurs between electrons in one atom and the nucleus of another atom.
What is a double bond
The sharing of two pairs of electrons
What is a triple bond
The sharing of three pairs of electrons
What is Polyatomic Ions?
These are ions that are made up of Multiple Atoms
Define electronegativity
This is the numerical rating of an atoms ability to attract the shared electrons to itself
What is Polar covalent Bond?
This is the unequal electron sharing
