Vocabulary Chapters 15+16 Flashcards
The number of Atoms or ions immediately surrounding a central atom in a complex of crystal
Coordination Number
Number representation of the electrons found in the valence valence shell of an atom
Electron dot structure
Is a halogen atom bearing negative charge
Halide ion
The complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms
Ionic bonds
Force that atoms together in a metallic substance
Metallic bond
Tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell
Octet rule
Electron in the outer shell associated with an atom
Valence electrons
Weakers the chemical bond between two atoms and help separate them
Anti bonding molecular orbital
The energy required an endothermic process to break a bond and form two atomic or molecular fragments each with an electron of the original shared pair
Bond dissociation energy
Formed when atomic orbitals combined in that lead to predominantly constructive interference
Bonding molecule
A covalent bond a shared pair of electrons in which other electrons come from the same atom
Coordinate covalent
Has paired electrons
Diamagnetic
A molecule in which a concentration of positive electric charge is separated from a concentration of negative charge
Dipole
Intermolecular force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally symmetrical
Dispersion force
A covalent bond formed by atoms that share two pairs of electrons
Double covalent bond
