Types of Bonds
What is an ionic bond?
When atoms work to fill their outer shell of valence electrons, they are following this rule
What is the octet rule?
An electrostatic attraction that forms between atoms when they share or transfer valence electrons is called this
There is this many atoms in the compound CuSO4
What are six?
A bond resulting from two atoms sharing electrons
What is a covalent bond?
Occurs between atoms with very different electronegativities
What is an ionic bond?
This sort of bond has three shared electrons
What is a triple covalent bond?
The principle that states that atoms generally are most stable when they have eight electrons in their valence energy level.
What is the octet rule?
There are this many atoms in the compound KNO3
What are five atoms?
the unequal distribution of electric charge in a covalent bond
What is polarity?
Occurs between elements such as transition metals with similar low electronegativities
What is a metallic bond?
In a chemical formula, the subscript tells us this piece of information
What is the amount of atoms?
the smallest whole-number ratio of ions within an ionic compound
What is the formula unit?
The compound AgBrO4 has this many atoms.
What are six?
The seven diatomic elements are called this
What are the Hydrogen Seven?
What is a covalent bond?
Helium and hydrogen are able to achieve stability without fulfilling the octet rule for this reason.
What is they have only two valence electrons in the outer shell
a molecule made of two atoms (whether of the same element or not)
What is a diatomic molecule?
The compound Ag2C2O4 has this many atoms
What are eight?
a shorthand way of identifying a chemical compound consisting of the element symbols and subscripts that represent the number of atoms of each element
What is a chemical formula?
Often results in many shared electrons
What is a metallic bond?
Nitrogen forms a triple covalent bond for this reason
What is because it needs three more electrons to fulfill the octet rule?
a system for modeling the covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule and any unbonded electrons in the molecule
What is the Lewis Dot Structure?
The compound AlCl6Na3 has this many atoms.
What are ten?
a compound made from only two elements
What is a binary compound?
