The attractive force that holds atoms or ions together.
What is Chemical Bond?
100
The smallest unit of substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical property of that substance; it can consist of 1 atom or 2 or more atoms bonded together.
What is a Molecule?
100
A compound composed or ions bound together by electrostatic attraction.
What is a Ionic Compound?
100
The ability of a substance to be hammered thin or drawn out into a wire.
What is Ductility?
200
A bond formed when atoms share 1 or more pairs of electrons.
What is a Covalent Bond?
200
A structural formula in which electrons are represented by dots; dots pairs or dashes between 2 atomic symbols represent pairs in covalent bonds.
What is a Lewis Structure?
200
The collection of atoms corresponding to an ionic compound's formula such that the molar mass of the compound is the same as the mass of 1 mol of formula units.
What is Formula Unit?
200
A bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them.
What is Metallic Bonding?
300
A covalent bond in which a pair of electrons shared by 2 atoms is held more closely by 1 atom.
What is a Polar Covalent Bond?
300
The energy required to break the bonds in 1 mol of a chemical compound.
What is Bond Energy?
300
The energy associated with constructing a crystal lattice relative to the energy of all constituent atoms separated by infinite distances.
What is Lattice Energy?
300
The ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into a sheet.
What is Malleability?
400
A force that attracts electrons from 1 atom to another, which transforms a neutral atom into an ion.
What is a Ionic Bond?
400
A bond in which the atoms share more than 1 pair of electrons, such as a double bond or a triple bond.
What is a Multiple Bond?
400
An ion made of 2 or more atoms
What is a Polyatomic Ion?
500
Describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are seperated.
What is Polar?
500
An electron-configuration notation in which only the valence electrons of an atom of the particular element are shown, indicated by dots placed around the elements symbol.
