Term
What force distinguishes compounds from mixtures?
Definition
Chemical Bonds
Term
T-F A compound does not always have the same chemical formula.
Definition
F...Compounds always have the same chemical formula.
Term
What are the two terms used to specify the positions of atoms relative to one another in a compound?
Definition
Bond Length and Bond Angles
Term
Name three types of models that help you "see" a compound's structure and tell the differences between them.
Definition

Ball and Stick Model-shows bond angles and lengths Structural Formula-similar to ball and stick only uses chemical symbols

Space-filling Models-shows proportion or space filled by atoms but it's harder to see bond lengths and angles

Term
What type of structure makes for a strong solid?
Definition
Network Structure
Term
Some compounds are made of _______, tightly packed, positively and negatively charged ions which make strong attractions between the oppositely charged ions.
Definition
Networks of Bonded Ions
Term
Some compounds such as sugar are made of _______.
Definition
Molecules
Term
The strength of attractions between molecules varies. Which is the strongest bond, solids, liquids, or gasses?
Definition
Solids, then liquids, and finally gases.
Term
What does a chemical formula show?
Definition
Which atoms or ions a compound is made of.
Term
A _____ represents a compound's structure visually.
Definition
Model
Term
Compounds with network structures are strong solids and have (high or low) melting and boiling points
Definition
High
Term
Substances made of molecules have (high or low) melting and boiling points in comparison to those with network structures.
Definition
Low
Term
Put these compounds in order from strongest bond to weakest bond and tell the type of bond or structure they have: water, salt, sugar, dihydrogen sulfide gas, quartz
Definition
Quartz (network structure), salt (bonded ions), sugar (molecules), water (molecules), dihydrogen sulfide gas (molecules)
Term

Definition
1 x 10 (to the -12 power) m
