Document Summary

Atomic nucleus: centre of the atom where protons and neutrons are found. Rutherford"s experiment: gold foil experiment , essentially discovered the nucleus. Orbitals: space where electrons will likely be found. Compound: a type of molecule composed of 2 or more elements. Covalent bonds: bond that occurs when electrons are shared between atoms. Electronegativity: the measure of an atoms ability to attract electrons from another atom in a bond (increased across pt, decreased down pt) Polar covalent bonds: occurs when 2 atoms of differing electronegativity form a covalent bond (i. e. water) Non-polar covalent bonds: bonds that are electrically neutral due to equal sharing of electrons between atoms. Free radicals: a special class of highly reactive molecules containing an atom with a single, unpaired electron in its outer energy shell. (i. e. cl-) Van der waal forces: occur intermolecular or between different regions of large molecules. Occur due to electrostatic interactions between molecules of opposite charges (weaker than covalent and ionic)
