The chemical bond that results from sharing valence electrons
Single covalent bonds are also called
The first element in the formula is always named first, using the entire element name.
uses letter symbols and bonds to show relative positions of atoms.
The model used to determine the molecular shape is referred to as the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion model, or
formed when two or more atoms bond covalently
The distance between the two bonded nuclei at the position of maximum attraction is called
The first word has the prefix hydro- to name the hydrogen part of the compound. The rest of the first word consists of a form of the root of the second element plus the suffix -ic.
a condition that occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a molecule or ion.
a process in which atomic orbitals mix and form new, identical hybrid orbitals
they can represent the arrangement of electrons a molecule
Bond length and bond strength are also related: the shorter the bond length,
The second element in the formula is named using its root and adding the suffix -ide.
forms when one atom donates both of the electrons to be shared with an atom or ion that needs two electrons to form a stable electron arrangement with lower potential energy.
What is a coordinate covalent bond?
A Lewis structure for a hydrogen molecule is written as
is released when a bond forms
The second word is always acid.
a noble gas that will form a few compounds with nonmetals that strongly attract electrons.
The halogens—the group 17 elements—such as fluorine have seven of these.
forms when parallel orbitals overlap and share electrons
Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element that are present in the compound.
After the reaction, the product, has an expanded octet containing ten electrons.
