Poly-atomic Ions
What is the orderly arrangement of ions in an ionic bond called?
Crystal Lattice
What theory states that electrons in a metallic bond are freely floating around?
Electron-Sea Theory

Delocalized Electrons
What are notable exceptions to the general characteristics of covelant compounds?
Network Covelant Substances
What is a mixture of a metals atoms with another element and has metallic properties?
Alloys
Attaining a full valence shell is called the
Octet rule
What type of bonds are formed when one atom steals the electrons from another atom?
Ionic Bonds
Sigma and pi bonds are the same thing?
False
There are never any exceptions to the Octet rule?
True
A nonbonding pair of electrons is considered an area of electron density?
True
Covalent bonds are always nonpolar?
False
Molecular geometry helps determine the shape of molecules?
True
What theory is also called the localized electron theory, and concerns the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms?
Valence Bond Theory
What type of bond is an end-to-end bond, and is the stronger bond?
Sigma bond
What type of bond is a side-by-side bond, and is the weakest bond?
Pi bond

Molecure Resonace
Which theory suggests that the orbitals of a molecules atoms are replaced by totally new orbitals when a molecule forms?
Molecular Orbital Theory
Which theory focuses on the locations of highest electrons density surrounding the central atom in a molecule, and looks at how those areas repel one another?
VSEPR
What shape typically has the central atom surrounded by 4 areas of electron density?
Tetrahedral
Which shape is Y-shaped with all 4 atoms lying on a single plane?
Trigonal Planar
When electrons are shared, but they are unequally shared, the bond is called?
Polar Covalent Bond
What is a measure of molecular polarity called?
Dipole Moment
