Chemistry Bonding and Molecular Geometry

A chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between a metal and a non-metal.

A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between two non-metal atoms.

A chemical bond formed by the delocalized sharing of electrons between metal atoms.

A diagram representing the valence electrons of an atom or molecule, where each dot represents a valence electron.

The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule, determined by the repulsion between electron pairs.

The outermost electrons of an atom, involved in chemical bonding.

A positively charged ion formed by the loss of electrons.

A negatively charged ion formed by the gain of electrons.

The systematic process of writing chemical formulas for compounds based on their constituent elements and charges.

The process of assigning a name to a compound based on its chemical formula, following specific rules and conventions.

The process of assigning a name to a compound based on its chemical formula, following specific rules and conventions.

The ratio of the number of atoms of each element in a compound, represented by subscripts in the chemical formula.

The number of electrons an atom needs to gain or lose to achieve a stable octet configuration.

A substance that exists as discrete molecules, rather than a continuous network.

A chemical formula that represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

A chemical formula that represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
