Triple Covalent bond
A chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance
Used to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms
VESPR Theory
A quality or condition of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the subject's composition
Physical property
A mixture that is uniform in composition
Homogeneous mixure
A bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons
A chemical change in which an element or compound reacts with oxygen
Combustion reaction
An idealized structure of a compound with linear geometry
Linear Structure
The ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
Chemical Property
A mixture that is not uniform in composition
Heterogeneous mixture
A bond formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons
Single covalent bond
A chemical change in which a single compound is broken down into two or more simpler products
Decomposition Reaction
A chemical compound that contains two types of elements
Binary compound
The percent by mass of each element in a compound
Percent composition
The approximate distance from the center of an ion to its highest occupied electron orbital
Ionic radius
A bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms
Covalent bond
Any reactant that remains after the limiting reactant is used up
Excess reactant
A molecular geometry model with one atom at the center and three atoms at the corners of a triangle
Trigonal Planar Structure
A property that depends on the type of matter in a sample
Intensive property
Half the distance between the nuclei of tow atoms of the same element
Atomic radius
The force of attraction that holds metals together
Metallic Bond
Any reactant that is used up in the first chemical reaction
Limiting Reactant
A molecular shape that results when there are four bonds and no lone pairs around the central atom in the molecule
Tetrahedral Structure
A property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample
Extensive property
The energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state
Ionization energy
