Covalent compound notes
Across
- 1. a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.
- 5. the amount of energy required to break apart a mole of molecules into its component atoms.
- 8. are generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon
- 10. a set of chemical symbols showing the elements present in a compound and their relative proportions, and in some cases the structure of the compound.
- 11. a chemical bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
- 13. chemical substances being held together by attraction of atoms to each other through sharing, as well as exchanging, of electrons -or electrostatic forces.
- 15. a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
- 16. is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
- 18. a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits.
- 20. a type of bond that occurs when two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other.
Down
- 2. composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements.
- 3. a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule.
- 4. a charged chemical species composed of two or more atoms
- 6. a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction
- 7. a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits.
- 9. between two chemical elements involving four bonding electrons instead of the usual two.
- 12. a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond
- 14. a substance composed of exactly two different elements,
- 17. a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.
- 19. a chemical bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.
