| chemical bond- | a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together. |
| types of chemical bonding are- | inoic bonding, covalent bonding, non-poplar covalent bonding, polar-covalent bonding, and polar bonding. |
| single bond- | a covalent bond produced by the sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms. |
| a molecular compound is- | a chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules. |
| formulas- | chemical formula, molecular formula, and diatomic formula. |
| characteristics of a covalent bond are- | bond length and bond energy. |
| the octet rule- | chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has and octet (8) of electrons in it's highest occupied energy level. But there are exceptions to this rule! |
| Electron dot diagrams- | these are made in order to show the number of valence electrons of an element. |
| triple bonds- | double and triple bonds are refered to as multiple bonds |
| ionic bonds- | composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal. |
| formula unit- | the simplest collection of atoms from which the and ionic compound's formula can be established. |
| lattice energy- | energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compound is formed from gaseous ions. |
| metallic bonding- | the chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons. |
| VSERP theory- | states that repulsion between the sets of valence-level electrons surrounding an atom causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible. |
