Chemical Bonding/compounds
The definition of covalent bonds
what is a chemical bond that shares the electron pairs between atoms.
the electrons in the highest occupied energy level of an atom.
What is valence shell
What the X stands for in the AXE formula
Name for a pair of electrons not in a bond
what is a lone pair
AX2E0
linear
The electrons involved in the formation of chemical bonds
what is Valence bonds
The rule that states " the atom likes to have a full outer valence shell"
What is Octet Rule
Molecule shape with just two atoms bonded together
what is linear
This type of bond makes molecules
what is covalent (molecular)
AX2E2
bent
the term used to describe atoms connected by a chemical compound
what is a molecule
The number of valence electrons in Carbon (C)
what is 4 valence electrons
Molecule shape with 3 end atoms around the central atom with one lone pair of electrons on the central atom
what is a trigonal pyramidal
A type of covalent bond where electrons are not shared equally
what is a polar covalent bond
AX3E0
trigonal planar
ionic bonds occur between
what is metals and non metals
What you call the illustration of a molecule that shows valence electrons as dots
what is Lewis structures
Where there are 4 atoms around the central atom, the molecule has this shape.
what is a tetrahedral
A type of bond where electrons are shared equally making symmetrical shapes for molecules
what is nonpolar covalent bond
the definition of VSEPR
what is the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
Name this compound : NH3
what is ammonia
the element that can newer be in the center of a lewis structure
what is hydrogen
Molecular Geometry shape for water
what is bent
A type of bond where metals give valence electrons to nonmetals making positive and negative ions
what is an ionic bond
The steps to determine VSEPR shape of molecule
Draw Lewis structure. Determine central atom and how many ending atoms. Count lone pairs of electrons on central atom.
