Lewis structures
This represents shared electrons between two atoms
what is a Covalent Bond
This is the weakest type of intermolecular force, caused by temporary shifts in electron density in molecules.
What are London dispersion forces
what element is H
what is Hydrogen
All nonzero digits in a number are counted as this
What are significant figures
This is the maximum number of electrons that can surround most atoms
What is the Octet Rule?
Molecules that exhibit this type of intermolecular force have a permanent separation of charge, or dipole
What are dipole-dipole forces
what element is F
what is Fluorine
Zeros between nonzero digits are considered this
What are significant
In a Lewis structure, these electrons are shown as dots and are not involved in bonding
What is lone pairs?
This is a special type of dipole-dipole force that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine
What is hydrogen bonding
What element is Zn
what is Zinc
Leading zeros, like in 0.0052, are considered this
What are not significant
This is difference in electron density in a molecule
What is Polarity
Ionic compounds do not typically have traditional IMFs, but this type of force holds the ions together in a lattice
What are ionic bonds
what element is Au
what is Gold
Trailing zeros in a number with a decimal, like 12.300, are considered this
What are significant
This occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be drawn for a molecule
What is resonance?
The stronger this type of intermolecular force is, the higher the boiling point of a substance will be.
What are intermolecular forces
what element is Rn
what is Radon
Trailing zeros in a number without a decimal, like 1500, are considered this unless written in scientific notation.
What are not significant
