Chapter 6 - Test Prep Flashcards
Vocab: Chemical Bond aka “Bond”
When 2 or more atoms attach to each other through interactions of electrons.
Vocab: Valence
The outermost electrons
Vocab: Lewis Diagrams/Lewis Structure
Aka “EDD”. A way of drawing only the valence electrons of an atom
Vocab: Ion
An Atom w/ a charge
Vocab: Anion
a negative ion
Vocab: Cation
a positive ion
Vocab: ionic bond
a bond between a metal cation & non-metal anion
Vocab: ionization energy
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom
Vocab: Crystal Lattice
A highly organized, alternating structure of ionic bonded molecule
What is the difference between an atom and an ion?
Atom has no charge and the ion does
Understand the nature of ionic bonds: What two types of atoms do ionic bonds from between?
(+) cation & (-) anion
Understand the nature of ionic bonds: Describe the nature of how electrons become a pair?
One gives an e- one gets an e-
Drawing Lewis Diagrams/structures of atoms AND those same atoms as they become ions: Draw Sodium as an Atom
Atom: NA (dot over top)
Ion: Na +1
Writing Chemical Formulas when given the ionic compound name and Naming Ionic compounds when given chemical formulas. What is the naming rule:
Cation
Anion + “idle”
Vocab: Covalent Bond
An attraction between 2 or more atoms caused by sharing electrons
Vocab: There are 2 Types of covalent bonds, based on how equally the shared electrons are actually “shared”
Polar Covalent Bond
Non-Polar Covalent Bond
Vocab: What is a Polar Covalent Bond
Unequal sharing (Asymmetrical Compounds)
Vocab: What is a Non-Polar Covalent Bond
Equal Sharing (Symmetrical Compounds)
Vocab: Single Bond
When 2 atoms share 2 electrons
Vocab: Double Bond
When 2 atoms share 4 electrons
Vocab: Triple Bond
When 2 atoms share 6 electrons
Vocab: Diatomic Molecule
A Molecule w/ 2 of the same atoms (eg: Br2, Cl2, O2, H2)
What two types of atoms do covalent bonds form between?
2 Non-Metals
Describe the nature of how electrons become a pair?
Sharing
