100

These are the conditions for polarity.

What are: geometric asymmetry and asymmetry of electronegativity.
100

These elements make ionic bonds.

What are metals + non-metals.

100

The definition of electronegativity

What is: the ability of an atom to attract an electron to itself.

100

These elements make covalent bonds.

What are non-metals and non-metals.

200

The direction of the dipole arrow.

What is: in the direction pointing TOWARD the MOST electronegative atom.
200

Metals are located here on the periodic table.

Below and to the LEFT of the metalloids (staircase).

200

The directionality of INCREASING electronegativity trends.

What is: increases from bottom to top & increases from left to right.

200

The range for a covalent bond AND a polar covalent bond.

What are <0.4 and 0.4 - 1.8

300
The definition of polarity.
What is a difference (or separation) of charge.
300

This holds ionic bonds together.

What is electrostatic attraction.

300

The definition of atomic radius.

What is the distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's valence (outermost) shell.
300

The name for a covalent molecule with TWO atoms (Hint: can be two of the same or two different)

What are diatoms.
400

A dipole is a ___ quantity. (Scalar or vector)

What is a vector quantity.

400

This GROUP makes +2 cations. This group makes -1 anions.

What are the alkaline earth metals and the halogens.

400
These compounds are GOOD conductors of electricity in the AQUEOUS state (explain why).

What are ionic compounds. Why -- because their ions are free to move around in water.

400
This is how electrons are distributed in covalent bonds.

What are: shared between elements.

500

True or false: S & O make a polar bond.

TRUE; Their EN is < 0.4 and < 1.8.

S = 2.58;  O = 3.44;   EN difference = 0.86

500

The final charges of ionic bonds?

What is neutral

500

The reason the atomic radius increased from R to L and from Top to Bottom.

Because more shells are added with each PERIOD. Because there is a stronger positive pull in the nucleus with more protons (+ charge).

500

The STEPS for making a Lewis structure (simplified).

(1) Find total VE. (2) Find central atom. (3) Bond using 1 e- pair. (4) Fill valence shell. (5) Check total # of e-. Then, add double/triple bonds.
