- greater than 2.0 = ionic
- 1.9-.5 = polar covelent
-0-.4 = non polar covelent

Electronegativity difference between bonded atoms chart.

hybridization

the mixing of several atoic orbitals to form th same nmber oquivalent hybrid orbitals

resonance structures

two or more valid electron dot formulas that can be written for the same molecules

structural formula

chemical formula that shows the arrangemet of atoms in molecules nd polyatomic ions

van der Waals forces

the weakest attractions that exist between molecules

VSEPR theory

Because electron pairs repel, molecules adjust their shapes so that the valence electron pairs are as far apart as possible

Valence-shell-electron-pair-repulsion

What does VSEPR stand for?

single covelent bond

a covalent bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

polar molecules

a molecule in which one end is slightly negative and the other end is slighly positive

polar covalent bonds

a covalent bond formed between two different atoms in which the bonding electrons are shared unequally

molecular compound

an electrically neugtral group of atoms joined together by covalent bonds

coordinate covalent bonds

a covalent bond in which one atom contributes bth bonding electrons
