CHM 1045 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Ideal Gas Law, Ionic Bonding, Chemical Bond
Document Summary
A chemical bond formed between two oppositely charged ions, generally a metallic cation and a nonmetallic anion, that are attracted to one another by electrostatic forces. A chemical bind in which two atoms share electrons that interact with the nuclei of both atoms, lowering the potential energy of each through electrostatic interactions The transfer of elctrons from atom to another. Emperical formula a chemical formula that shows the composition of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in the simplest ratio. Molecular formula a chemical formula of a molecular compound that shows the kinds and numbers of atoms present in a molecule of a compound. A molecular formula that shows how the atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded to each other. A structural formula that uses groupings of atoms, in which central atoms and the atoms connected to them are written as a group to convey molecular structural formula.
