Chapter 13 Study Review
Molecules
Groups of atoms held together by covalent bonds are called: a. elements. b. molecules. c. mixtures. d. alloys.
binary
A chemical compound that consists of two elements is known as a ________________
Molecule
A group of atoms that forms a compound held together by covalent bonds is called a ____________________
carbon
All organic molecules contain the element ____________________.
Lithium and fluorine atoms
An ionic bond is most likely to form between: a. carbon and oxygen atoms. b. lithium and fluorine atoms. c. two oxygen atoms. d. nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
Electrons in an atom's outermost energy levels (known as valence electrons) may be gained or lost to complete an octet (eight valence electrons). When electrons are lost or gained, the atom becomes charged. This charge causes the atom to be attracted to atoms with an opposing charge. This kind of attraction usually results in the formation of an ionic bond. When atoms have roughly equal tendency to accept electrons they share electrons to form covalent bonds. Elements that are nonmetals and therefore close together on the periodic table tend to form covalent compounds because they have a nearly equal tendency to accept electrons.
Briefly explain the difference between ionic and covalent bonding.
Carbohydrate
Cellulose is a type of organic molecule identified by scientists as a: a. carbohydrate. b. lipid. c. protein. d. nucleic acid.
2 electrons
Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in: a. covalent compounds only. b. ionic compounds only. c. both ionic and covalent compounds. d. mixtures only.
