CHP 2+3 Review Flashcards
dalton
unit used for measurement of subatomic particles
isotope
differing number of neutrons within same element
orbital
3d space where electron is found 90% of the time, no more than 2
covalent bond
sharing of a pair of valence electrons
double covalent bond
sharing 2 pairs of valence electrons
electronegativity
attraction of atom for electrons of covalent bond
nonpolar covalent bond
electrons shared equally
polar covalent bond
unequal sharing of electrons
ion
charged atom (or molecule); anion or cation
ionic bond
2 ions of opposite charge
hydrogen bond
hydrogen covalently bonded to 1 electronegative atom, usually O/N
van der waals interactions
weak, occur only when atoms or molecules are close together; ‘hot spots’ of negative/positive charge enabling atoms and molecules to stick together
cohesion
hydrogen bonds hold substance together
adhesion
clinging of one substance to another
buffers
minimize change in H of OH concentration
