1.Bond Angle- angle between the bonds connecting the atom in the molecule
2.Bond Energy- energy involved in forming or breaking a bond
3.Chemical Bond- strong attractive force between atoms or ions in a compound
4.Covalent Bond-nonionic chemical bond formed by shared electrons
5.Crystal Lattice- three-dimensional arrangement of cations and anions
6.Dipole- bond in which there are two separated, equal but opposite, charges
7.Double Covalent Bond- bond in which four electrons (two pairs) are shared by the bonding atoms
8.Electronegativity- measure of attraction an atom has for a shared pair of electrons
9.Electrostatic Attraction- the attraction between particles of opposite charge
10.Ionic Bond (*1.7)- chemical bond formed by electrostatic attraction between a cation and an anion
11.Nonpolar Covalent Bond (0.0)- bond in which electrons are equally shared by two nuclei
12.Octet Rule- rule based on assumption that atoms form bonds to achieve a noble gas electron configuration
