unit 6 or something molecular shapes and bonding

Question 1

ionic bonding

Answer 1

chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between cations and anions

Question 2

covalent bonding

Answer 2

results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms

Question 3

electronegativity

Answer 3

a measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons

Question 4

nonpolar covalent bond

Answer 4

a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms

Question 5

polar

Answer 5

having an uneven distribution of charge

Question 6

polar covalent bond

Answer 6

a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons

Question 7

what is a molecule

Answer 7

a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds

Question 8

what are electron-dot structures used to represent?

Answer 8

the number of valence electrons

Question 9

what is an unshared pair

Answer 9

a pair of electrons that is not involved in bonding and that belongs exclusively to one atom

Question 10

what is another name for an unshared pair?

Answer 10

a lone pair

Question 11

what is a double bond?

Answer 11

a covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms

Question 12

what is resonance?

Answer 12

resonance refers to multiple ways to show a lewis structure bonding of molecules/ions.

Question 13

how is the movement of electrons different what atoms are close to each other?

Answer 13

the electrons start orbiting around both of the atoms

Question 14

how are covalent bonds formed?

Answer 14

when atoms are attracted to the other’s electrons, but neither one can take them away from the other.

Question 15

what type of bond forms between two nonmetals

Answer 15

covalent bond

Question 16

define VESPR Theory

Answer 16

Stands for valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. means that electron pairs will get as far away from one another as possible because electrons repel electrons.

Question 17

what is bond length?

Answer 17

the difference between the attraction and repulsion of two covalently bonded atoms/the distance between the centers of two covalently bonded atoms

Question 18

what electronegative values are nonpolar bonds

Answer 18

0.0->0.5

Question 19

what electronegative values are polar bonds

Answer 19

0.6->1.7

Question 20

what electronegative values are ionic bonds

Answer 20

1.7+

Question 21

3.5-2.1, what type of bonds would this be?

Answer 21

polar
