Bonding Types
This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
The Lewis structure for H2O shows this many lone pairs on oxygen.
What is 2?
The molecular geometry of a molecule with three bonding pairs and one lone pair on the central atom is known by this shape.
What is trigonal pyramidal?
This intermolecular force is the weakest and occurs between all molecules.
What is London dispersion force?
The formula for sodium chloride is represented by these symbols.
What are NaCl?
In this type of bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What is an ionic bond?
In a Lewis structure, the number of valence electrons is represented by these dots or lines around the element's symbol.
What are dots (or lines)?
A molecule with four bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom has this molecular geometry.
What is tetrahedral?
The intermolecular force between polar molecules due to the attraction between partial charges is called this.
What is dipole-dipole force?
The formula for carbon dioxide is represented by these symbols.
What are CO2?
These bonds involve the attraction between partially positive and negative ends of polar molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds?
The Lewis structure for CO2 shows this type of bond between carbon and oxygen atoms.
What is a double bond?
The molecular geometry of a molecule with two bonding pairs and two lone pairs on the central atom is known by this shape.
What is bent?
This intermolecular force is present in molecules containing hydrogen bonded to a highly electronegative atom like oxygen or nitrogen.
What is hydrogen bonding?
This term refers to the smallest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
What is the empirical formula?
This type of bond occurs when atoms share electrons unevenly, creating partial charges.
What is a polar covalent bond?
In Lewis structures, these are used to indicate shared pairs of electrons between atoms.
What are lines or dashes?
The molecular geometry of a molecule with two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom is known by this shape.
What is linear?
The attraction between atoms in a metallic substance
What is metallic bonding?
Balancing a chemical equation involves ensuring this is saved.
What is mass or the number of atoms?
Metallic bonding is characterized by the sharing of electrons in what type of structure?
What is a sea of electrons?
The Lewis structure for NH3 shows this many lone pairs on nitrogen
What is 1?
The molecular geometry of a molecule with three bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom is known by this shape.
What is trigonal planar?
The chemical bond formed when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom
What is ionic bonding?
The reactants in a chemical equation are written on this side of the arrow.
What is the left side?
