Document Summary

Sections 4. 6-4. 12 (covalent bonds, lewis structures, polyatomic ions, molecular. Ionic bonding complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms. Cation (+) and anion (-) can form an ionic compound. Covalent bonding sharing of valence electrons between atoms. Bonding pair two valence electrons used in forming covalent bond. Lone pair valence electrons not used to form covalent bond. Can have single bonds or multiple bonds between two atoms (double and. Diatomic molecules cl2, o2, n2 (cannot exist as a stand-alone atoms) All valence electrons need to be accounted for and included in the lewis. Need to show lone pair of electrons in structures. First name: prefix + name of first element (if the first element has only one atoms, the prefix mono- is dropped) Second name: prefix + root name of the second element + suffix -ide. Free radical a molecule with an unpaired electron (no and no2)
