Chemical Bonding Flashcards
Forces of Attraction
Intramolecular forces and intermolecular forces
Stronger Bonding Forces
Intramolecular Force
Holds the atom together within a molecule.
Intramolecular Force
Weaker Non-Bonding Forces
Intermolecular Force
Exist between two molecules
Intermolecular Force
Transfer of electrons between a cation and anion
Ionic bond
Sharing of electrons
Covalent Bond
Unequal sharing of electron
Polar covalent bond
Equal sharing of electrons
Non-polar covalent bond
Attraction between two molecules
Intermolecular forces
The attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom.
Attraction between a partial positive and a partial negative charge
Hydrogen Bond
Weak attractive force between atoms or non-polar molecules
Van de Waals Bonding
A combination of two or more simple reactants and result in a single, more complex product
Synthesis
Breaks down a compound into two or more simpler substances
Decomposition
Element is substituted for another element in a compound, generating a new element and a new compound as products
Single Replacement
Reaction begins with two compounds as a reactant. Metals, usually aqueous ions, exchange resulting in two or new products
Double Replacement
A reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Combustion reactions must involve O2 as one reactant.
Combustion
Chemical Processes
Reduction and Oxidation
Reduction GEROA:
Gain electron - Reduction - Oxidizing Agent
Oxidization: LEORA
Lose electron - Oxidization - Reducing Agent
Reaction between strong acid and strong base that forms a salt and water
Neutralization
