structure of matter Flashcards
Chemical structure
The way stomps are arranged determines many of compound properties
Chemical bond
The attractive forces that hold different atoms or ions together in compounds
Bond length
Gives the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.
Bond angle
Tell how these atoms are oriented in space
Hydrogen bond
.water molecules attract eachother
Ionic bond
Formed between oppositely charged ions
Metallic bond
.metals form this attraction between one atoms nucleus and a neighboring atoms electrons
Covalent bond
Compounds that are made of molecules like water and sugar
Polyatomic
Grounds of covalently bonded atoms that have either Gained or lost atoms
Formula unit
Names that disguising from other compounds
No polar covalent bond
A type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons
Polar covalent bond
Electrons are shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time
Empirical formula
.also known as simplistic formulae tells how smallest whole number ratio of atoms that are in a compound
Molecular formula
Tells you how many atoms are in one molecule of the compound
Organic compound
Covalently bonded compound made of molecules
