Ch 10 Vocab Flashcards
(17 cards)
the sharing or transfer of electrons to attain stable electron configurations among the bonding atoms
Chemical bond
transfer of electrons between metals and non metals
Ionic bond
transfer of electrons between 2 nonmetals
Covalent bond
a rule that states that an atone will give up, accept, or share electrons in order to fill outre electron shell
Octet rule
electrons that are shared between 2 atoms in a chemical bond
Bonding pairs
electrons that are on one atom in a Lewis structure
Lone pair
2 or more Lewis structures that are necessary to describe the bonding in a molecule
Resonance structure
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
a general term for a lone pair, single bond, or multiple bond in a molecule
Electron groups
the geometric arrangement of the atoms in a molecule
Molecule geometry
the ability of an element to attract electrons within a covalent bond
Electronegativity
a measure of the separation of charge in a bond or in a molecule
Dipole
a covalent bond between atoms of different electronegativites. Polar covalent bonds have a dipole moment
Polar covalent bond
a molecule with polar bonds that add together to create a net dipole moment
Polar molecule
a model that predicts how atoms bond together to form molecules
Bonding theories
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
the name for the 2 electrons corresponding to a stable Lewis structure no hydrogen and helium
