Structure and Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds Flashcards
Force of attraction between any atoms in a compound
Chemical bonding
Interactions involving __________ that are responsible for the chemical bond
valence electrons
A way to represent atoms using the element symbol and valence electrons as dots
Lewis Symbols
In Lewis symbols, the number of dots used corresponds directly to the number of ______ located in the _____ of the atoms of the element
valence electrons, outermost shell
attractive force due to the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another
Ionic bond
Reason for attraction between atoms
The attraction is due to the
opposite charges of the ions
attractive force due to the sharing of electrons between atoms
Covalent bond
is a symmetrical 3-D structural arrangements of atoms, ions or molecules (constituent particle) inside a crystalline solid as points
Crystal lattice
Compounds containing covalent bonds are called???
covalent compounds or molecules
Bonds of diatomic elements
covalent bond
A physical property of compounds which relates other physical properties such as melting and boiling points, solubility, and intermolecular interactions between molecules.
Bond polarity
bonds made up of unequally shared electron pairs
Polar covalent bonding
bonds made up of equally shared electrons pairs
Nonpolar covalent bonding
