Compounds & Molecule
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Polymer | Large chain-like molecule made of small units called monomers. |
Polyatomic Ions | A group of covalently bonded atoms that have lost or gained electrons. |
Empirical Formula | Simplest ratio of atoms within a compound. (EX: HO) |
Molecular Formula | Tells actual numbers of atoms in a molecule of a compound (EX: H2O2) |
Organic Compounds | Covalently bonded compounds that contain carbon. |
Alkenes | Hydrocarbons, has at least one double bonds, and names end in -ene. |
Alcohols | Made of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Names end in -ol. |
Biochemical Polymers | Some examples include Carbohydrates and Proteins. |
Compound | Substance made of atoms of 2 or more different elements. |
Chemical Bonds | Attractive force that joins different atoms or ions together in a compound. They can break. |
Chemical Structure | How atoms are arranged in a compound. |
Bond length | Distance between nuclei of 2 bonded atoms. |
Bond Angles | Angle formed by 2 bonds to same atom. |
Bonding | Valence electrons determine an atoms ability to form chemical bonds. |
Lewis Dot Structure | Diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that exist. |
Ionic Bonds | Strong bond formed by attraction of oppositely charged atoms. (Metals and nonmetals) |
Covalent Bonding | Formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. They occur between NONMETALS. |
Metallic Bonds | Attraction between metal ions and the electrons surrounding them. |
