Science qz 335-342 Flashcards
describes electrons that are part of more than one chemical bond, being shared by more than two atoms
delocalized
the property of an element that describes how strongly atoms of that element pull on electrons in chemical bonds
electronegativity
a covalent bond in which both atoms share their electrons equally and the electrons are not pulled closer to one atom than to the other
nonpolar bond
a covalent bond in which the more electronegative atom pulls the shared electrons toward itself
polar bond
a charge less than that of a proton or electron
partial charge
a molecule that has opposite partial charges on opposite ends of the molecule
polar molecule
a substance consisting of atoms covalently bonded into a large structure that does not contain a specific number of atoms
covalent network
the simplest ratio of atoms in a covalent network
formula unit
the mass of a formula unit
formula mass
