SECTION 1
A neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.
A compound composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal.
The chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons.
The types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound.
Molecular formula
The simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic compounds formula can be established.
The ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into.
Orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom.
The energy required to break a chemical bond and form neutral isolated atoms.
The energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions.
The ability of a substance to be drawn, pulled, or extruded through a small opening to produce wire.
A covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.
Nonpolar-covalent bond
The kind, number, arrangement, and bonds but not the unshared pairs of the atoms.
The kind, number, arrangement, and bonds but not the unshared pairs of the atoms. Structural Formula
A charged group of covalently bonded atoms.
Polyatomic ions
A bond that has an uneven distribution of charge.
Bonding in molecules or ions that cannot be correctly represented by a single Lewis Structure.
