Covalent bond
Define "Chemical Bond".
The force that holds two atoms together.
Give common names and its compound.
Water= H2O
Ammonia= NH3
Define "Lewis structure".
A way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol.
Why are molecular shapes important?
Molecular shapes are important in determining macroscopic properties such as melting and boiling points, and in predicting the ways in which one molecule can react with another.
Define "Electronegativity".
The relative ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond
Explain how an atom gains stability.
The stability of an atom, ion, or compound is related to its energy; that is, lower energy states are more stable.
Draw an example of a Lewis structure.
*It can be any* (Does not let me insert an image)
Draw an example of a covalent bond.
*They can draw any* (doesn't let me add an image)
What are multiple covalent bonds?
A double covalent bond and a triple covalent bond are examples of multiple bonds.
Name 3 covalent compound prefixes.
Mono
Di
Tetra
Give 2 examples of multiple covalent bonds and a drawing of each.
A double covalent bond forms when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. For example, atoms of the element oxygen only exist as diatomic molecules.
A triple covalent bond forms when three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. Diatomic nitrogen( N2 ) molecules contain a triple covalent bond.
Name 3 covalent compound prefixes and what each represent.
3= Tri-
4= Tetra
