Chap 8 - Covalent Bonding Part 1

Key terms to know to be successful in this chapter.

AB
Pi BondAn intermolecular attraction force that exists between all molecules. These forces are the result of the movement of electrons which cause slight polar moments. Dispersion forces are generally very weak but as the molecular mass increases so does their strength.,
Molecular FormulaAn expression which states the number and type of atoms present in a molecule of a substance.,
Hydrogen BondingAn expression which states the number and type of atoms present in a molecule of a substance.,
Structural FormulaAn expanded chemical formula that gives information about the arrangement of atoms and bonds in a molecule,
Molecular CompoundAn electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong (covalent) chemical bonds.,
Polar BondA type of covalent bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally. Because of this, one end of the molecule has a slightly negative charge and the other a slightly positive charge.,
Dipolea special type of covalent bond in which the shared electrons come from one of the atoms only.,
Tetrahedral AngleA solid angle bounded or enclosed by four plane angles.,
MoleculeA separation of electric charge leading to a molecule having an electric dipole,
Dispersion ForceA pair of equal and opposite electric charges or magnetic poles separated by a small distance,
VSEPR TheoryA model in chemistry used to predict the shape of individual molecules based upon the extent of electron-pair electrostatic repulsion,
Polar MoleculeA double covalent bond is where two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair.,
Single Covalent BondA covalent bond between two atoms, formed by sharing a pair of electrons,
Polar Covalent BondA bond in which electrons are shared between elements having a difference in electronegativity of between 0.5 and ~2.0.,
Diatomic MoleculeA bond between two atoms in which both atoms share one electron, this electron forming a link between them.,
Hydrogen BondsIs the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, like nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine,
