Chemistry final Flashcards
Chemical Bond
attractons between nuclei of one atom and the valence electrons of another atom
Ionic bond
Transfer electrons
Metal and nonmetal
Cation
Positive ion
Anion
Negative ion
Octet rule
Atoms must have 8 valence electrons
Polyatomic ions
2 or more different atoms covalently bonded together with an overall charge
Transition metal ions
Capable of forming more than one cation with a different ionic charge
ex: Iron(II), Fe(OH)2
Lattice energy
Energy required to completely separate a solid ionic compound into ions.
Ionic solids
Composed of cations and anions held together by electrostatic forces
ex: (CsCl) (ZnS)
Conductivity
Allows charged particles to flow through it with out significant resistance
Metallic solids
Solids composed of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds
Metallic bonds
Bond between metals
Interstitial Alloys
Different metal occupies interstitial spaces (holes) in the lattice structure (Fill in)
Substitutional Alloys
Atoms of one metal are substituted by atoms of another metal (Substitute)
Covalent bonding
Metal+nonmetal
Electronegativity
Ability of an atom to attract electrons when bonded with another atom
Nonpolar covalent bonds
Atoms with equal pull bonding electrons SHARED EQUALLY
Polar covalent bonds
Bonding electrons are SHARED UNEQUALLY, creating a dipole
7 diatomic elements
Hydrogen nitrogen
oxygen fluorine
chlorine bromine
iodine
Dipole moments
Measure of polarity of a chemical bond between 2 atoms in a molecule
Bond length
Distance between the centers of 2 covalently bonded atoms
Strength of polarity
Determined by the magnitude of the difference in electronegativity
Lewis Structure
Representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule
Formal charge
(valence e-s)-(dots)-(lines)
describes charges if all atoms shared perfectly equally.
