Definitions Flashcards
Covalent bond
Bond formed by a shared pair of electrons
Ionic bond
Force of attraction between oppositely charged particles
Polar covalent
Electrons are not shared evenly between atoms
Non-polar covalent
Electrons are shared evenly between atoms
Electronegativity
Relative attraction an atom has for a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond
Sigma bonding
Direct overlap of atomic orbitals
Pi bonding
Lateral overlap of atomic orbitals
Intermolecular force
Force between atoms
Intramolecular force
Force within the atom
Mole
1 mole of a substance contains Avogadro’s number of particles
Ideal gas
Ideal gas obeys the kinetic theory under all temps and pressures
Volatile liquid
Liquid that evaporates at low temps
Boyle’s law
When temp is constant, volume is inversely proportional to pressure
Charle’s law
When pressure is constant, volume is proportional to temp
Avogadro’s law
When pressure and temp are constant, equal volumes of gases contain equal numbers of particles
