Electrons
#1 What is electron affinity? How likely an atom is to accept electrons
#2 What is electronegativity? The ability of an atom to attract electrons during chemical reactions.
#3 What is the electronegativity trend? Decreasing down the family, increasing from left to right along the periods.
#4 What is an element with an electronegativity difference smaller than 1.7? The atom is mostly ionic.
#5 What is a polar covalent bond? A molecule with unequal sharing of electrons.
Forces
#1 What are van der Waal forces? The weak attraction forces between covalent bonds.
#2 What is a dipole-dipole force? The force between the positive and negative ends of two polar molecule.
#3 What do the weak attraction forces result in? Relatively low melting and boiling points.
#4 What is a dispersion force also known as? Induced dipole.
#5 What is solidity based on? van der Waal forces
Polarity
#1 What are polar and ionic compounds usually soluble in? Polar substances.
#2 What is polarity determined by? The shape of the molecule.
#3 What are the only substance non-polar compounds are soluble in? Non-polar substances.
#4 If an molecule's electronegativity difference is between .4 and 1.7, what is it? Polar covalent.
#5 If a molecule's electronegativity difference is 0, what is it? Non-polar covalent.
Covalent bonds
#1 What strength of bonds do covalent bonds have? Strong
