covalent bond
A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons.
2 of 23
dative covalent
A shared pair of electrons which has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only; also called a coordinate bond.
3 of 23
delocalised electrons
Electrons that are shared between more than two atoms.
4 of 23
electronegativity
A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.

giant covalent lattice
A three-dimensional structure of atoms, bonded together by strong covalent bonds.
6 of 23
giant ionic lattice
A three-dimensional structure of oppositely charged ions, bonded together by strong ionic bonds.
7 of 23
giant metallic lattice
A three-dimensional structure of positive ions and delocalised electrons, bonded together by strong metallic bonds.
8 of 23
hydrogen bond
A strong dipole–dipole attraction between an electron-deficient hydrogen atom (O–Hδ+ or N–Hδ+) on one molecule and a lone pair of electrons on a highly electronegative atom (H–O:δ– or H–N:δ–) on a different molecule.
9 of 23
intermolecular force
An attractive force between neighbouring molecules. Intermolecular forces can be van der Waals’ forces (induced dipole–dipole forces), permanent dipole–dipole forces or hydrogen bonds.

ionic bonding
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
11 of 23
lone pair
An outer-shell pair of electrons that is not involved in chemical bonding.
12 of 23
metallic bond
The electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and delocalised electrons.
13 of 23
molecule
A small group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
14 of 23
periodicity
A regular periodic variation of properties of elements with atomic number and position in the Periodic Table.
15 of 23
permanent dipole
A small charge difference across a bond resulting from a difference in electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
16 of 23
permanent dipole–dipole force
An attractive force between permanent dipoles in neighbouring polar molecules.
17 of 23
pi-bond (π-bond)
The reactive part of a double bond formed above and below the plane of the bonded atoms by sideways overlap of p-orbitals.
18 of 23
polar covalent bond
A bond with a permanent dipole.
19 of 23
polar molecule
A molecule with an overall dipole, taking into account any dipoles across bonds.
20 of 23
simple molecular lattice
A three-dimensional structure of molecules, bonded together by weak intermolecular forces.
21 of 23
van der waals'
Very weak attractive forces between induced dipoles in neighbouring molecules.
