Q

Covalent Bond

A

Bond formed when adjacent atoms share one or more pairs of electrons

18
Q

Molecule

A

Substance composed of two or more atoms joined through covalent bonds

19
Q

Covalent bonds occur between

20
Q

Electrons may not be shared

21
Q

Non polar covalent bonds

A

bonds in which electrons are shared equally

22
Q

Non polar Covalent Bonds

A

bonds in which electrons are shared unequally

23
Q

Electronegativity

A

determines whether polar or non polar bonds form

24
Q

Electronegativity

A

Measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a bond

25
Ionic Compounds
Compounds that form from the attraction of cation and anions
26
Cation
ion that forms after an atom loses one or more electrons Possess positive charge
27
Metals tend to form
Cations
28
Anion
Ion that forms after an atom gains one or more electrons Negative charges
29
Anions are formed
Between nonmetals
30
Properties of Ionic Compounds
hard and brittle Higher melting and boiling points Soluble in water Conduct electrical current if melted or dissolved in water
30
Ionic Forces
Attractive forces that occur between positively charged cations and negatively-charged anions in ionic compounds
31
Dipole-Dipole
Attractive forces that occur between the partial positive charge of one molecule and the partial negative charge of an adjacent molecule
32
Dipole
Molecule that has a partial positive end and a partial negative end Occurs between polar molecules
33
Hydrogen Bond
Attractive force that occurs when a hydrogen bound to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to lone electrons of an adjacent molecule occurs when hydrogen is bound to N, O, or F Special type of dipole dipole force
34
Van der Wals forces
Attractive forces that occur within non polar compounds; include London dispersion forces
35
London dispersion forces
Attraction due to a temporarily induced dipole Occurs in non polar compounds weakest of intermolecular forces
36
Molecular shapes are determined by the
position of the atoms' orbitals
37
Molecular functions are influenced by
Number of bonds an atom has The presence or absence of lone electrons around the atom
38
Molecular shape determines
how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another
39
Chemical reaction
The process of making and breaking of chemical bonds, resulting in changes in composition of matter Reactants------> Products
40
Reversible reaction
Chemical reaction in which the reactants form products and products can reform into reactants Reactants (double arrow) Products
41
Chemical Equilibrium
Condition in which the forward reaction and reverse reaction occur simultaneously and at equal rates Relative concentrations of reactants and products are unchanging
