Term
asymmetrical
Definition
not symmetrical
Term
covalent bond
Definition
a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
Term
dipole
Definition
a molecule that has two poles, or regions, with opposite charges
Term
dipole-dipole attraction
Definition
attractive force resulting when polar molecules line up so that the positive and negative ends are close to each other
Term
double bond
Definition
A covalent bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms
Term
electronegativity difference
Definition
The difference in electronegativities between the atoms in a bond.
Term
hydrogen bond
Definition
A type of weak chemical bond formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in another molecule.
Term
intermolecular forces (IMF)
Definition
attractive forces between molecules
Term
molecular substance
Definition
substance that has atoms held together by covalent bonds
Term
molecule
Definition
A group of atoms bonded together
Term
molecule-ion attraction
Definition
The attractive force between an ion and the oppositely charged dipole of a neighboring polar molecule.
Term
polar
Definition
describes a molecule in which the positive and negative charges are separated
Term
polarity
Definition
A lack of electrical symmetry in a molecule. Charge differences on opposite ends of a structure.
Term
shared electron
Definition
electron that will go between orbits of two different atoms (covalent bonds)
Term
single bond
Definition
a covalent bond in which two atoms share one pair of electrons
Term
SNAP rule
Definition
symmetrical - non polar, asymmetrical - polar
Term
soluble
Definition
capable of being dissolved
Term
symmetrical
Definition
same on both sides
Term
triple bond
Definition
A chemical bond formed when atoms share three pairs of electrons
Term
unpaired electrons
Definition
single electrons that are alone in an orbital
Term
weak force
Definition
attraction between two non-polar molecules
