Chemical Bonding Vocab Flashcard

Front

A neutral molecule in which unequal electron sharing results in a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end.

Back

Polar covalent molecule

Front

Positively or negatively charged, covalently bonded group of atoms.

Back

Polyatomic Ion

Front

Molecule that shares electrons equally and does not have oppositely charged ends.

Back

Non-polar covalent molecule

Front

A force that holds atoms together in a compound or molecule.

Back

Chemical Bond

Front

Occurs because some electrons move freely among metal’s positively charged ions.

Back

Metallic Bond

Front

A charged particle that has either more or fewer electrons than protons.

Back

Ion

Front

Attractive forces between atoms when they share electrons.

Back

Covalent Bond

Front

Chemical shorthand that uses symbols to tell what elements are in a compound/molecule and their ratios

Back

Chemical Formula

Front

The force of attraction between an oppositely charged metal(s) ion and non-metal ion(ions).

Back

Ionic Bond

Front

The attraction between atoms that forms as a result of electron sharing among atoms.
