Bonding
Across
- 2. bond – a chemical bond between two atoms when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to the other
- 3. forces – attractions between atoms or ions, also known as bonds; generally much stronger than intermolecular forces
- 5. trends – patterns of elements’ properties that predict change across the periodic table
- 8. bond – a chemical bond between two atoms sharing electrons
- 10. dot structures – diagrams / models of molecules showing atoms as element symbols or shapes, shared / bonded valence electrons as lines
Down
- 1. between pairs of electrons are minimized (aka shape in which pairs of electrons are as far away from each other as possible
- 2. forces – attractions between molecules; generally weaker than intramolecular forces / bonds
- 4. substance – structure built of metal cations held together by attraction to a sea of delocalized electronsMolecular geometry – the 3-dimensional shape of a covalent molecule, as determined by its shared and unshared pairs of valence electrons
- 6. bonding – a relatively strong attraction between atoms or ions resulting from shared or transferred valence electrons
- 7. and lone pairs of valence electrons as dots
- 9. Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory – chemical model predicated on the idea that bonded atoms form the shape in which the
