Chemical Arithmetic and Bonding Flashcards
Chemical bonding
The process by which atoms joins together to give molecules
The mole of a substance
Has the same number of particles as 12g of carbon-12
Bonding principle
Atoms forming binds assume the electronic structure of the noble gas nearest to them in the periodic table because the full energy level arrangement is very stable
Electronegativity
This is the attraction of the atoms forming the bond for the bonding pair of electrons
Region of electronegativity values for pure covalent bonds
0 - 0.4
Region of electronegativity values for polar covalent bonds
0.4 - 2
Region of electronegativity values for ionic bonds
> 2.0
Solution
A mixture of two or more substances interdispersed at a molecular level
