Chapter 5 The Structure of Matter

The placement of atoms in a substance.

A force that holds atoms and/or ions together.

The length between 2 bonded atoms at their smallest potential energy; the average length between the nuclei of 2 bonded atoms.

The angle made by 2 bonds to the same atom.

The intermolecular force happening when a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom of 1 molecule is attracted to 2 unshared electrons of another molecule.

A bond made by the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

A bond made by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons surrounding them.

A bond made when atoms share 1 or more pairs of electrons.

An ion formed with 1 or more atoms.

1 Na ion and 1 Cl ion.

When bonds of an atom are shared equally.

When bonds of an atom are not shared equally.

Tells the smallest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

Tells how many atoms are in 1 molecule of a compound.

Covalently bonded compound formed of molecules.

Large molecule formed by more than 5 monomers or small units.

Made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and provides nutrients to a cell.

Made up of 1 or more chains of amino acids.

Made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

When more than 3 bonded carbon atoms don’t line up in a row.

At least 1 double covalent bond between carbon atoms.

Determines the genetic makeup.

Contains carboxylate and an amino acid and combines to form proteins.
