Intramolecular Forces Flashcards
1
Q
Intramolecular bond
A
A bond which occurs between atoms within molecules
2
Q
Covalent bond
A
A sharing of at least one pair of electrons by two non-metal atoms.
3
Q
Allotrope
A
Different crystalline forms of the same element in the same physical state.
4
Q
Valency
A
The number of valence electrons in the outer shell of an atom which are able to be used to form bonds with other atoms.
5
Q
Electronegativity
A
A measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons
6
Q
Non-polar covalent bond (Pure covalent)
A
An equal sharing of electrons
7
Q
Polar covalent bond
A
A covalent bond that has an unequal sharing of electrons leading to a dipole forming (as a result of electronegativity difference)
