200

This type of chemical bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal, resulting in the transfer of electrons.

Ionic Bonding

200

Lewis structures represent valence electrons as these small marks around element symbols.

Dots

200

This term describes the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions.

lattice energy

200

The bond energy of a triple bond is (greater than/less than) that of a single bond.

greater than

200

This term describes an atom’s ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

electronegativity

400

In a metallic bond, electrons are not bound to individual atoms but instead exist in this kind of shared structure.

Electron Sea

400

This rule states that atoms in a molecule tend to share or transfer electrons to achieve eight valence electrons.

octet rule

400

The lattice energy of an ionic compound is affected by two factors: ionic charge and this property of the ions

ionic radius

400

Of the following bonds, this one is the longest: C-C, C=C, or C≡C.

C-C

400

Of the elements Na, Cl, and O, this one has the highest electronegativity.

oxygen (O)

600

This law, which describes the attraction between charged particles, helps explain why ionic bonds form.

Coulomb’s Law

600

The Lewis structure of this common diatomic halogen molecule consists of a single bond and six lone pairs of electrons

Cl₂ (chlorine gas)

600

According to Coulomb’s Law, as the distance between ions increases, lattice energy does this.

decrease

600

The enthalpy change of a reaction can be estimated using this equation:
ΔH=∑(Bonds broken)−∑(Bonds formed)

bond energy calculation

600

A bond between two atoms with a large electronegativity difference is classified as this type

ionic bond

800

This element, though in Group 18, does not follow the octet rule and is stable with only two valence electrons

helium (He)

800

This noble gas is an exception to the octet rule because it only has two valence electrons

helium (He)

800

Of NaF and CaO, this compound has the higher lattice energy and stronger ionic bonds

CaO

800

Among CO₂, CO, and CH₃OH, this molecule has the shortest C-O bond.

CO

800

The molecule H₂ has this type of bond due to identical electronegativity values.

nonpolar covalent bond

1000

Unlike ionic or metallic bonds, this type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals

covalent bond

1000

In the formation of an ionic bond, calcium loses two electrons while oxygen gains two electrons to form this compound

calcium oxide (CaO)

1000

This cycle, based on Hess’s Law, helps determine lattice energy by breaking down the formation of an ionic solid into steps

Born-Haber cycle

1000

The bond energy of a C-H bond in ethane is (greater than/less than) that in ethyne.

less than

1000

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond polarity: H-Br, H-F, Na-Cl, F-F.

F-F < H-Br < H-F < Na-Cl
