Let’s begin by recalling the concepts learned from previous module.
Directions: Define the following terms based on your understanding.
Terminologies Definition
Lewis structure Diagrams that show the bonding
between atoms of a molecule Covalent bond A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Lone pair Refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond. Bond pair A pair of electrons that are in a bond.
Single bond A chemical bond in which one pair of
electrons is shared between two atoms. Double bond A chemical bond in which two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. Triple bond A chemical bond in which three pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms. Octet Rule This rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons. Incomplete octet A stable molecule where the number of electrons surrounding the central atom is less than eight. Expanded octet A stable molecule where the number of electrons surrounding the central atom is more than eight.
