|
Chemical bond
|
Strong attractive force that exists between atoms in a molecule
|
|
Ionic bond
|
Bond between oppositely charged ions, formed from atoms by transfer of 1 or more electrons
|
|
Covalent bond
|
Formed between 2 or more atoms by a sharing of electrons
|
|
Metallic bonds
|
Usually in solid metals, bonding electrons are relatively free to move throughout the 3D structure
|
|
Lewis symbol
|
Chemical symbol for an element with a dot for each valence electron
|
|
Octet rule
|
Stating that bonded atoms tend to possess or share a total of 8 valence-shell electrons
|
|
Lattice energy
|
Required to separate completely the ions in an ionic soild
|
|
Born-Haber cycle
|
Thermodynamic cycle based on Hess's law that relates the lattice energy of an ionic substance to its enthalpy of formation and to other mesurable quantites
|
|
Lewis structures
|
Representation of covalent bonding in a molecule that is drawn using Lewis symbols, shared electron pairs: lines, unshared electron pairs: dots, only valence-shell electrons are shown
|
|
Single bond
|
Covalent bond involving 1 electron pair
|
|
Double bond
|
Covalent bond involving 2 electron pairs
|
|
Triple bond
|
Covalent bond involving 3 electron pairs
|
|
Bond length
|
Distance between the centers of two bonded atoms
|
|
Nonpolar covalent
|
Measure of degree to which the electronsare shared equally between 2 atoms in a chemical bond
|
|
Polar covalent
|
Measure of degree to which the electronsare shared unequally between 2
atoms in a chemical bond
|
