What is a chemical bond
a neutral electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together. 
100
molecule
a neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds
100
ionic compound
composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the number of positive and negative charges are equal. 
100
metallic bonding 

the chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons



100
VSEPR theory

the repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible

200
ionic bonding
chemical bonding that results from the electrical attraction between large number of cations and anions. 
200
molecular compound
a chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules 
200
formula unit

the simplest collection of atoms from which an ionic compound's formula can be established

200
malleability

the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheets



200
hybridization 

the mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of similar energies on the same atom to produce new orbitals of equal energies

300
covalent bonding 
results from the sharing of electron pairs between two atoms.
300
chemical formula
the relative number of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numerical subscriptions 
300
lattice energy

the energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions

300
ductility 

the ability of a substance to be hammered or beaten into thin sheets




300
hybrid orbitals 

orbitals of equal energy produced by the combination of two or more orbitals on the same atom

400
nonpolar-covalent bond
a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally by the bonded atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of electrical change 
400
molecular formula 
shows the types and number of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound 
400
polyatomic compound

a charged group of covalently bonded atoms

400
dipole


created by equal but opposite charges that are separated by a short distance

500
polar
bonds that have an uneven distribution of charge
500
bond length 
the average distance between two bonded atoms

hydrogen bonding

the intermolecular force in which a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom is attracted to an unshared pair of electrons of an electronegative atom in a nearby molecule
