The forces of attraction holding the particles together

Question 1

Chemical bonding

Answer 1

The way in which particles join and combine with one another

Question 2

Chemical structure

Answer 2

The arrangement of particles as a result of the bonding

Question 3

Electronegativity

Answer 3

The ability of an atom to attract additional electrons to itself

Question 4

Metallic bonds

Answer 4

The strong electrostatic attraction between the positively-charged metal cations and negatively-charge mobile valence electrons

Question 5

Malleable - physical property

Answer 5

Can deform to absorb an impact

Question 6

Ductile - physical property

Answer 6

Can be stretched to great lengths without breaking

Question 7

Ionic bond

Answer 7

The strong electrostatic attractions between positively-charged ions and negatively charged ions

Question 8

Covalent bonds

Answer 8

The strong electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of each atom for the shared pair of electrons

Question 9

Sigma bond

Answer 9

Orbitals which overlap head-on/collinearly

Question 10

Pi bond

Answer 10

P orbitals which overlap sideways/collaterally

Question 11

Coordinate/dative bonds

Answer 11

Covalent bond formed when an atom donates a lone pair of electrons into an empty orbital of an electron deficient atom for sharing

Question 12

Giant covalent structure

Answer 12

Atoms extensively bound together by strong covalent bonds

Question 13

Allotrope

Answer 13

Different forms of an element in the same physical state. Similar chemical properties, different physical properties(FYI)

Question 14

Simple covalent structure

Answer 14

Small, discrete molecules held together by weak intermolecular forces

Question 15

Hydrogen bonds

Answer 15

Weak electrostatic attraction between the protonic hydrogen of one molecule with a lone pair on a highly electronegative atom of another molecule
