Chemical Bonding Part 1 Flashcards
1
Q
Electronegativity
A
atoms relative ability to attract/pull on electrons while bonded
2
Q
Ion
A
atoms with a charge of either positive or negative charge
2
Q
Cation
A
- an atom that has lost electrons
- has a positive charge
- are mostly metals
3
Q
Anion
A
- an atom that has gained electrons
- has a negative charge
- are mostly nonmetals
4
Q
Covalent bond
A
- Sharing of electrons
- Attraction of nucleus to another atoms electrons
4
Q
Ionic bond
A
- transfering/stealing of electrons
- Comes from the word ion
- Attractions of oppositely charged ions
5
Q
Polar covalent bond
A
- electrons shared unequally
- unequal distribution of energy
6
Q
Nonpolar covalent bond
A
- electrons shared equally
- equal distribution of energy
7
Q
Formula unit
A
- the simplest combination of ions that make a neutral compound
- corresponds with a chemical formula
8
Q
Ionic compound
A
- a compound made up of positive and negative ions whose charges add to zero
- electrons gained = electrons lost
- they are often binary
9
Q
Lattice energy
A
- energy released when 1 mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from separate atoms
- Unit: kJ/mol or J/mol
- lattice energy is always (-) b/c that means energy that is released
10
Q
Polyatomic ion
A
- molecules with an overall net charge
- atoms are bonded covalently but the atoms have picked up or lost electrons along the way
11
Q
Oxyanion
A
- negatively charged polyatomic ions containing oxygen
- (-ate/-ite) -ate will always have 1 more oxygen than -ite
12
Q
Molecular mass
A
- the mass of one molecule
- used for covalent bonding
13
Q
Molar mass
A
- the mass of one molecule
- used for covalent bonding
13
Q
Formula mass
A
- the mass of a single formula unit
- measured in AMU
14
Q
Percent composition
A
- The percentage of the compound that is made up of a certain element
- the part element divided by the total compound times 100
15
Q
Periodic trend for electronegativity and why
A
- Increases across periods
- Greater nuclear charge and a smaller radius across periods.
16
Q
Group trend for electronegativity
A
- Decreases down groups/families
- Larger radius and shielding effect(weaker pull)
