Bonding Types
This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
In a Lewis structure, this symbol represents a shared pair of electrons between two atoms.
Dash (Line)
A molecule with the formula AB2 and a central atom with two bonded pairs and no lone pairs adopts this molecular geometry.
Linear
This molecular geometry has a central atom surrounded by three bonded pairs and no lone pairs.
Dipole Dipole interaction
The chemical formula for water.
H2O
In this type of bond, one atom completely transfers its valence electrons to another, resulting in ions.
Ionic bond
The Lewis structure of oxygen gas (O2) consists of how many lone pairs of electrons?
Zero (0)
All atoms bonded to the central atom are in a straight line. This geometry occurs when there are only two atoms bonded to the central atom and no lone pairs present.
Linear
This type of intermolecular force occurs between all molecules, regardless of polarity, due to temporary fluctuations in electron distribution.
London Dispersion forces
The chemical formula for nitric acid.
HNO3
In this type of bond, electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, creating partial positive and negative charges.
polar covalent bond
In a Lewis structure, this notation represents a lone pair of electrons.
pair of dots (Lone pair)
A molecule with the formula AB4E has this molecular geometry with a central atom surrounded by four bonded pairs and one lone pair.
Seesaw
This type of intermolecular force is the strongest and occurs between hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.
Hydrogen Bonding
The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide.
SO2
This type of bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions.
ionic bond
What is the total number of valence electrons in the Lewis structure of sulfur dioxide (SO2)?
18
A molecule with the formula AB2E2 and a central atom with two bonded pairs and two lone pairs adopts this molecular geometry.
Bent or Angular
This type of intermolecular force occurs between polar molecules and is stronger than London dispersion forces but weaker than hydrogen bonding
dipole-dipole interaction
The chemical formula for hydrochloric acid.
HCl
What type of bond occurs between a metal and a nonmetal
What is an ionic bond?
The Lewis structure for ammonia (NH3) consists of how many lone pairs of electrons on the nitrogen atom?
This molecular geometry has a central atom surrounded by three bonded pairs and no lone pairs.
Trigonal Planar
This type of intermolecular force occurs between non-polar molecules and is the weakest type of intermolecular force.
London dispersion forces
The name for the compound with the formula NaCl.
Sodium Chloride
