Across
- 5. Some number of electrons that share the same region of space in a molecule
- 9. A quantity having both magnitude (size) and direction
- 10. An experimental measure of the polarity of a molecule. A measure of both the strength of the dipole charges and the distance between them
- 12. A synonym for dipole–dipole force
- 13. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion
- 14. The intermediate-strength intermolecular attractive force exerted by polar molecules on each other. Compare hydrogen bond; London force
Down
- 1. A model used to predict molecular shape, the basic tenet being that the valence electrons in a molecule repel each other because they carry negative charges
- 2. A force exerted by one molecule on another molecule, arising from the separation of positive and negative electrical charges in the molecules.
- 3. A covalent molecule in which there is no net separation of electrical charge in the molecule. Compare polar molecule.
- 4. A covalent molecule containing atoms of different electronegativities arranged in such a way that there is a net (unbalanced) separation of electrical charge in the molecule
- 6. A four-sided polygon in which all sides are identical equilateral triangles
- 7. The number of electron groups about an atom in a molecule, equal to the sum of the number of lone pairs of electrons and the number of attached atoms
- 8. geometry is derived from a tetrahedral geometry via removal of the top part of the tetrahedron
- 11. The dipole moment for an entire molecule. It points from the d+ portion of the entire molecule to the d- portion
