Front (Question)

What is a bond between two non-metals called

Back (Answer)

A covalent bond

Front (Question)

Define compound

Back (Answer)

A chemically bonded substance made of 2 or more elements with fixed proportions

Front (Question)

What is a diatomic molecule

Back (Answer)

A molecule made of two atoms

Front (Question)

What is covalent bonding in terms of electrons

Back (Answer)

A chemical bond through shared electrons

Front (Question)

What is covalent bonding in terms of components

Back (Answer)

Two or more non-metals

Front (Question)

What forces are in lattice covalent bonds

Back (Answer)

Strong covalent bonds

Front (Question)

Molecules can only have one type of bonding and structure, which is:

Back (Answer)

discrete covalent

Front (Question)

What forces are there INSIDE discrete covalent molecules

Back (Answer)

Strong Covalent Bonds

Front (Question)

What forces are there BETWEEN discrete covalent molecules

Back (Answer)

Weak Inter Molecular Forces

#10

Front (Question)

How big is a lattice structure

Back (Answer)

infinite

#11

Front (Question)

How big is a discrete covalent structure

Back (Answer)

Very small, sometimes only 2 atoms.

#12

Front (Question)

Example question 1: How many electrons are shared in H2

Back (Answer)

2 electrons (1 pair)

#13

Front (Question)

Example question 1: How many electrons are shared in N2

Back (Answer)

6 electrons (3 pairs)

#14

Front (Question)

What is the number of shared electron pairs based on

Back (Answer)

The combining power of the atoms

#15

Front (Question)

Example question 1: describe the shared electron pairs in NH3

Back (Answer)

3 H have a pair of shared electrons with one N H N H H

#16

Front (Question)

Example question 1: describe the shared electron pairs in CO2

Back (Answer)

2 O have 2 pairs of shared electrons with one C O=C=O

#17

Front (Question)

How are covalent bonds drawn

Back (Answer)

Like a venn diagram, with the number of pairs of shared electrons drawn in the center. ONLY the OUTER energy level is drawn.

#18

Front (Question)

What are the melting points of discrete covalent structures

Back (Answer)

Very low

#19

Front (Question)

Why are the melting points of discrete covalent structures low

Back (Answer)

Because they have weak IMFs, which do not require lots of force to break apart.

#20

Front (Question)

Discrete covalent structures are soluble in ___________

Back (Answer)

Nothing

#21

Front (Question)

Discrete covalent structures are conductive in what forms?

Back (Answer)

None.

#22

Front (Question)

Why don’t discrete covalent structures conduct?

Back (Answer)

Because they have no charged particles

#23

Front (Question)

What is a bond between a metal and a non-metal called

Back (Answer)

Ionic Bond

#24

Front (Question)

What are the forces in ionic bonds

Back (Answer)

electrostatic forces
