This rule explains why atoms gain, lose, or share electrons.
Octet rule
The charged particles that move freely when an ionic compound dissolves in water.
electron
The prefix used to indicate seven atoms in a covalent compound
hepta
These electrons are shown as dots in a Lewis structure.
lone pairs
What does VSEPR stand for
Valence shell electron pair repulsion
The weakest intermolecular force present in all molecules.
dispersion
The type of bond formed when electrons detach from their main atom and go into a shared cloud among many atoms.
Metallic Bond
Give a property of a covalent compound
- low melting points
-not soluble in water
- not conductive
The name of SO₃.
sulfite
The element that is never the central atom in a Lewis structure.
hydrogen
The molecular shape of a molecule with four bonding pairs and no lone pairs.
tetrahedral
The intermolecular force that occurs between polar molecules.
dipole-dipole
Name one reason hydrogen does not follow the octet rule.
1s orbital only holds 2 e
Write the formula for the compound formed by Ca and PO₄.
Ca3(PO4)2
What is the formula for nitrogen triiodide?
NI3
Draw the Lewis structure for H₂S.

Predict the molecular shape of NH₃.
pyrimidal
Identify the type of intermolecular force responsible for water’s cohesion.
hydrogen bonding
This type of bond results from a large electronegativity difference and electron transfer.
ionic bond
Name the compound Fe(NO₃)₂.
Iron (II) nitrate
Name 4 diatomic elements
Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine
Draw the resonance structures for ozone (O3)

Explain how lone pairs affect bond angles compared to ideal angles.
Lone pairs squeeze bonds togethe,r causing them to shrink
Determine whether CH₃Cl is a polar or nonpolar molecule.
polar
Why do the noble gases rarely bond to form compounds
They already have a full octet and do not need to share or transfer electrons
Give the name and formula for a bond between ammonium and oxygen
(NH4)2O ammonium oxide
Name the compound N₂O₃
dinitrogen trioxide
What types of bonds are in NO2-
resonance causes 1.5-ish bonds
