1
the sharing or transfer of electrons to attain stable electron configurations among the bonding atoms
Chemical bond
2
transfer of electrons between metals and non metals
Ionic bond
3
transfer of electrons between 2 nonmetals
Covalent bond
4
a rule that states that an atone will give up, accept, or share electrons in order to fill outre electron shell
Octet rule
5
electrons that are shared between 2 atoms in a chemical bond
Bonding pairs
6
electrons that are on one atom in a Lewis structure
Lone pair
7
2 or more Lewis structures that are necessary to describe the bonding in a molecule
Resonance structure
8
theory that allows prediction of the shapes of molecules based on the idea that electrons either as lone pairs or as bonding pairs repel one another
Vsper theory
9
a general term for a lone pair, single bond, or multiple bond in a molecule
Electron groups
10
the geometric arrangement of the atoms in a molecule
Molecule geometry
11
the ability of an element to attract electrons within a covalent bond
Electronegativity
12
a measure of the separation of charge in a bond or in a molecule
Dipole
13
a covalent bond between atoms of different electronegativites. Polar covalent bonds have a dipole moment
Polar covalent bond
14
a molecule with polar bonds that add together to create a net dipole moment
Polar molecule
15
a model that predicts how atoms bond together to form molecules
Bonding theories
16
a drawing that represents chemical bonds between atoms as shared of transferred electrons; the valence electrons of atoms are represented as dots
Lewis dot structure
