electronegativity - an atom's attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond
, What is electronegativity affected by? - atomic number and distance at which its valence electrons
reside from the nucleus
Tell me about electronegativity and nonpolar covalent molecules - atoms are equally electronegative
and share valence electrons equally
Tell me about electronegativity and polar covalent molecules - one atom is more electronegative and
the atoms do not share valence electrons equally
What does unequal sharing of electrons cause? - partial positive or negative charge for each atom
Tell me about loss and gain of electrons in ionic bonds and the attraction - the more electronegative
atom strips a valence electron completely away from its partner; its an attraction between a cation and
an anion
Ion? - a charged atom (or molecule)
Ionic compounds are also known as - salts
Tell me about electronegativity and hydrogen bonds. - attraction between a hydrogen (partial +) in a
polar compound and an electronegative atom (partial -) in a second polar compound, in most living cells
the counterparts are N and O
Tell me about the interactions with vanderwaal forces and give me 2 examples - dependent on how
much surface one molecule exposes to its neighbors; example is vaseline sticking together and geckos
climb upside down, they are large nonpolar molecules
What does morphine bind to - endorphin receptors
study of the chemical processes in living organisms - Biochemistry
