Module 2 Flashcards
orbital
a region that can hold u to 2 electrons of opposite spins
ionic bonding
strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
covalent bonding
shared pair of electrons
dative covalent bonding/coordinate bonding
the shared pair of electrons where both electrons come from the same atom
metallic bonding
electrostatic attractions between positive metal ions and negative delocalised electrons
electronegativity
the ability of an atom to attract the bonding electrons in a covalent bond
permanent dipole-dipole force
intermolecular forces that exist because of the difference in electronegativities in a polar bond causes week electrostatic forces of attraction between molecules
acid
proton donor
strong acid
acid that completely dissociates in water
weak acid
acid that partially dissociates in water
base
proton acceptor
alkali
releases OH- ions into solution
salt
when a H+ in an acid is replaced by a metal ion or an ammonium ion
concordant results
titre values that are within 0.1cm3 of each other
oxidising agent
a substance that is reduced in a redox reaction
reducing agent
a substance that is oxidised in a redox reaction
empirical formula
the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound
