Bonding types
What type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms?
What is covalent bonding?
What do dots or lines in a Lewis structure represent?
What are valence electrons?
What is the geometric shape of a molecule with two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom?
What is linear?
This weak intermolecular force is caused by the temporary fluctuations in electron distribution, creating an instantaneous dipole moment.
What is London Dispersion Forces?
What is the chemical symbol for gold?
What is Au?
In ionic bonding, what happens to electrons between atoms?
What is the complete transfer of electrons, forming ions?
How is the number of valence electrons determined for an atom in a Lewis structure?
What is the group number (column number) on the periodic table?
Identify the term for a molecule with a central atom surrounded by three bonding pairs and one lone pair.
What is trigonal pyramidal?
Identify the intermolecular force that occurs between molecules with hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms.
What is hydrogen bonding?
Which element has the symbol 'Fe'?
What is Iron?
Identify the type of bond where electrons are not shared equally, leading to partial charges.
What is polar covalent bonding?
In a Lewis structure, what does the central atom typically try to achieve in terms of its valence electrons?
What is achieving an octet (eight electrons) around it?
Describe the molecular geometry of a molecule with a central atom bonded to four other atoms and no lone pairs.
What is tetrahedral?
Water exhibits strong hydrogen bonding due to the presence of these atoms in its molecule.
What are Oxygen and Hydrogen?
What is the symbol for silver?
What is Ag?
What is the term for a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged electrons?
What is metallic bonding?
What is the significance of formal charge in Lewis structures?
What is a measure of the distribution of electrons in a molecule and helps determine the most stable Lewis structure?
What is the shape of a molecule with a central atom bonded to three other atoms and one lone pair?
What is trigonal pyramidal?
This type of intermolecular force occurs when an ion is attracted to the partial charge on the end of a polar molecule.
What are Ion-Dipole Interactions?
Identify the element with the symbol 'C'.
What is Carbon?
Name the type of bond where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another.
What is ionic bonding?
Explain the octet rule and its relevance in Lewis structures.
What is the rule that states atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of eight valence electrons?
In the VSEPR theory, what does VSEPR stand for, and how does it relate to molecular geometry?
What is Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, and it predicts the geometric shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs?
Compared to London Dispersion Forces, this type of intermolecular force is generally stronger and can be found in molecules with hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms.
What is Hydrogen Bonding?
What element is represented by the symbol 'Na'?
What is Sodium?
