Chemistry Bonding Part 2
675106933 | electronegativity | (12.2) This property is described as an unequal sharing of electrons between 2 atoms or the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. | |
675106934 | ionic bonding | (12.1) A substances that form when an atom that loses electrons relatively easily reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for electrons (the participating atoms are so different that one or more electrons are transferred to form oppositely charged ions). | |
675106935 | ionic compound | (12.1) A compound that results when a metal reacts with a non-mental to form a cation & an anion. | |
675106936 | Lewis structure | (12.6) It representation of a molecule that shows how the valence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule; the most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound is that the atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations. | |
675106937 | linear structure | (12.8) Two pairs of electrons on a central atom in a molecule are always placed 180o apart. | |
675106938 | lone (unshared) pair | (12.6) When 1 or more of the electrons pairs around the central atom are unshared. | |
675106939 | molecular (geometric) structure | (12.8) An illustration as a three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in a molecule. | |
675109318 | octet rule | (12.6) When 8 electrons fill the valence orbital—that is, the one 2s and the three 2p orbitals (the most important requirement for the formation of a stable compound is that the atoms achieve noble gas electron configurations). |
