Bonding Vocab
Across
- 3. the bond that exists when two electron pairs are shared between two atoms
- 4. the sharing or transfer of electrons to attain stable electron configurations among the bonding atoms
- 6. allows predictions of the shapes of molecules based on the idea that electrons repel one another
- 9. the molecular geometry of a molecule containing three electron groups, three bonding groups, and no lone pairs
- 12. two or more Lewis structures that are necessary to describe the bonding in a molecule or ion
- 14. a drawing that represents chemical bonds between atoms as shared or transferred electrons; the valence electrons of atoms are represented as dots
- 16. an atom that is located at the end of a molecule or chain
- 18. a simple model for a chemical bond in which atoms transfer or share electrons to attain a noble gas electron configuration
- 19. a drawing that represents the valence electrons in atoms as dots
- 20. a rule that states that an atom will give up, accept, or share electrons in order to achieve a filled outer electron shell which usually consists of 8 electrons
- 21. the molecular geometry of a molecular containing four electron groups
- 22. the bond that results when a metal and a nonmetal combine in a chemical reaction
