AS Chemical bonding

Terms : Hide Images
a stable electron configuration consisting of 8 valence electrons
atoms tend to react in order to achieve a stable octet (or sometimes duet)
a measurement of an atoms attraction for electrons
metal-metal bonding, results in a "sea of electrons"
the collection of independent, mobile electrons present in metallic substances
a higly organized, regular geometric arrangement of atoms/ions
transfer of electrons, between a metal and nonmetal
sharing of electrons, between nonmetals
a covalently bonded 3-D network of atoms that resemble a crystal lattice, extremely hard (think diamond)
the smallest independent particle of an element or compound that exists
an unequal sharing of electrons in a bond
an equal sharing of electrons in a bond
one shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond
more than one shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond
two shared pairs of electrons in a covalent bond
three shared pairs of electrons in a covalent bond
the overall charge distribution on a molecule
a molecule that has an overall unequal distribution of charge
another term for a polar molecule, = 2 poles
a molecule that has an overall equal distribution of charge
a force of attraction that exists between molecules, IMF
an IMF that exists between polar molecules, medium strength IMF
an IMF that exists between nonpolar molecules, created by temporary dipole formation, weakest IMF
a special type of IMF that exists between a hydrogen on one molecule and a F,O,or N an another molecule, strongest IMF
high melting points, soluble in water, no odor, usually solid, hard, conducts electricity
lower melting points, solid liquid or gas, softer, doesn't conduct electricity
compound that consists of positive and negative ions; i.e. sodium chloride
solid solutions made by dissolving metals in other metals
An atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge
An ion with a negative charge
An ion with a positive charge
an attraction between particles or atoms that make up a molecule or compound (ionic / covalent bonds - also known as interparticle force)
intramolecular or interparticle force that helps form ionic bonds between cations & anions
