Science FeelsBadMan Flashcards
ability of an atom to attract the electrons toward itself in a chemical bond
Electronegativity
the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms
Ionic Bonding
is an electron in the outer shell associated with an atom, with highest energy level
Valence electron
Formed when electrons are unequally shared between two atom
Polar Covalent Bonding
Occurs when two or more elements share electrons
Covalent Bonding
are diagrams that represent the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule
Lewis-Electron Dot Structure
A positively charged ion
Cation
States that the atoms of the elements form bonds to have eight outer electrons.
Octet Rule
describe where electrons are located around the nucleus of an atom
Electron Configuration
is a covalent bonded set of two or more atoms
Polyatomic Ion
an expression that shows the elements in a compound and the relative proportions of those elements
Chemical Formula
sharing of electrons between 2 atoms of the same elements
Nonpolar Covalent Bonding
A negatively charged ion
Anion
amount of energy released or absorbed when an electron is added to an atom to form a negative ion
Electron Affinity
amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom
Ionization Energy
