Formal charge 20. dipole moment a. refers to the electrostatic forces that exist between ions of opposite charges between a strong metal and a nonmetal b. results from the sharing of electrons between atoms of nonmetals c. hypothesize that atoms interact to gain stability by changing the outermost (valence) configuration so as to attain the electronic configuration of a noble gas d. the force that holds atoms together to from ionic or molecular compound e. force that holds several metallic atoms together f. number of covalent bonds formed g. It states that an element has the tendency to achieve an electronic configuration with eight valence electrons. h. combination of Lewis symbols representing the transfer or sharing of electrons in a chemical bond measure of the degree of polarity of a molecule results from the unequal sharing of electrons which is formed when one atom has greater electronegativity than another in a covalently bonded molecule k. shows valence electrons as dot surrounding the symbols of the elements 1. lone pairs of electrons that belong solely to an individual atom m. the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms i. j. hypothetical charge an atom would have if bonding electrons are shared equally and lone pairs belong solely to a single atom o. results from the equal sharing of electrons which is formed when two atoms of the same electronegativity donates both electrons to make the bond p. formed when atoms share three pairs of electrons q. the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons towards its nucleus r. electrons involved in covalent bond formation s. formed when atoms share a single pair of electrons t. stable arrangement of electrons u. formed when atoms share two pairs of electrons
