Chemistry Bonding Concepts

Front

Bond Energy

Back

The amount of energy required to break one mole of bonds in a substance in the gas phase.

Front

Triple Bond

Back

A chemical bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.

Front

Resonance

Back

A concept in chemistry where a molecule or ion can be represented by two or more valid Lewis structures.

Front

Ionic Bonding

Back

A type of chemical bond where one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of ions.

Front

Resonance Structure

Back

One of two or more valid Lewis structures for a molecule or ion that cannot be represented accurately by a single Lewis structure.

Front

Ionic Compound

Back

A compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.

Front

Molecular (Geometric) Covalent Bonding

Back

A type of chemical bonding where pairs of electrons are shared between atoms in a molecule, affecting its geometry.

Front

Structure

Back

The arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex.

Front

Orbitals of the Metal

Back

The regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons, specifically in metal atoms.

Front

Polar Covalent Bond

Back

A type of covalent bond where the electrons are shared unequally between atoms, leading to a dipole moment.
