Illustrating the Nature of chemical bond 1st quiz Flashcards
(31 cards)
It is a positively charged particle
Proton
It is a negatively charged particle
Electron
It is a particle with NO charge; a neutral charge
Neutron
A basic particle that contains a Proton, Neutron and Electron
Atom
This is the outermost shell of the atom and is considered the most important shell because this shell contains electrons that are responsible for making chemical bonds.
Valence Shell
What are the two types of chemical bonds?
Ionic (electrovalent) bond
Covalent bond
This bond pertains to the transfer of one or more electrons to another atom to create ions
Ionic (electrovalent) bond
This bond pertains to sharing electrons between atoms
Covalent bond
This pertains to atoms desiring 8 electrons in their valence shells
Octet rule
Atoms may gain or lose electrons and form charged particles called what?
Ions
This refers to the measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons
Electronegativity
This refers to the study of hydrocarbons and their derivatives
Organic Chemistry
This refers to the study of all substances other than hydrocarbons and their derivatives
Inorganic Chemistry
What element is the essence of Organic Chemistry
Carbon
What is the approximate number of organic compounds
7 million
What is the approximate number of inorganic compounds?
1.5 million
These are compounds containing ONLY Hydrogen and Carbon
Hydrocarbons
These are compounds containing Hydrogen, Carbon and one of more other elements
Hydrocarbon Derivatives
These are hydrocarbons in which all carbon-carbon bonds are SINGLE bond
Saturated Hydrocarbons
These are hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon-carbon MULTIPLE bonds
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
Why are there so many organic compounds?
1) Carbon can form stable, covalent
bonds with other carbon atoms
2) Carbon can form stable bonds with other elements
3) Carbon can form double or triple bonds with other carbon atoms
4) The number of ways in which carbon and other atoms can be arranged is limitless
These molecules consist of 2 organic compounds with the same number of and kinds of atoms BUT different structures and properties
Isomers
How can carbon meet the 4-bond requirement?
1) By bonding to 4 other atoms
2) By bonding to 3 other atoms
3) By bonding to 2 other atoms
They are composed of atoms joined exclusively or predominantly by covalent bonds
Molecules
