100
This is what the dots in a Lewis Dot Diagram represent.
What are valence electrons?
100
True or False: A solid ionic compound can conduct electricity.
What is false?
100
In a covalent bond, atoms do this with their electrons.
What is share?
100
Any atom or group of atoms that is electrically charged.
What is an ion
100
Which would make a better central atom in a molecular compound- carbon or chlorine?
What is carbon?
200
These are the subatomic particles that are involved in bonding.
What are electrons (or more specifically valence electrons)?
200
It forms a cation.
What happens when an atom loses an electron?
200
These form when atoms do not share electrons equally.
What are polar molecules.
200
This is the bond that forms between two oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic bond?
200
Ionic bonds typically occur between these two types of elements.
What are metals and non-metals?
300
These two elements are content filling their outer shell with just two electrons.
What are hydrogen and helium?
300
These elements form 1- ions.
What are halogens?
300
This is what forms when two or more atoms are bonded together covalently.
What is a molecule?
300
This is the type of bond that forms when two atoms share two pairs of electrons.
What is a double bond?
300
This bond is very strong and causes compounds to have high melting points.
What is an ionic bond?
400
This is the rule that states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have 8 electrons in their outer shell.
What is the octet rule?
400
This is the type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons.
What are ionic bonds.
400
This is what we call covalently bonded atoms that form a groupwith a net charge.
What are polyatomic ions?
400
In this type of covalent bond, the electrons are not equally shared.
What is a polar bond?
400
This group of elements are often seen in covalent bonds.
What is group 17 -the halogens.
500
Atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons in order to acquire how many valence electrons?
What is 8?
500
This is the chemical formula for sodium oxide. (sodium is in group 1, oxygen is in group 16)
What is Na
2
O?
500
If two polar bonds balance each other out, the molecule as a whole will be this.
What is non-polar?
500
This is an ion that is made up of more than one atom.
What is a polyatomic ion?
500
This is the overall charge on an ionic compound
What is neutral or no charge?
