Lewis Structures
represents the transfer or the sharing of electrons in chemical bonds
octet rule
EVERY ATOM WANTS 8 ELECTRONS IN THEIR OUTERSHELL
ionic bonding
chemical bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom or
group of atoms to another group
EX : NaBr
metals
give
nonmetals
take
oxidation number
the superscript indicating the charge on an ion
ion
atom with either positive or negative charge
binary compound
compounds in which 2 elements are present , metal and non metal - nonmetal changes
to ide
ionization energy
energy required to remove the most loosley held electron from outer shell ; up and to
the right
polyatomic molecule
nonmetals that form one ion
covalent bond
sharing of electrons
EX : CO2

bonding electrons
pairs of valence electrons that are shared between pairs
non bonding electrons
lone pairs that
are not involved in electron sharing
Linus Pauling
Nobel prize Chemist
electronegativity
measure of atoms attraction for electrons it shares with another atom in a chemical
bond
electronegativity increases
left to right
electronegativity decreases
top to bottom
repulsion
gives molecule shape, describes distance b/w bonding and non bonding pairs of
electrons
molecular geometry
3 dimensional arrangement of atom within a molecule
