GLOSSARY

• Anion


  A non-metal that accepts electrons becomes
• Bond length


  It is distance between the nuclei of atoms forming the bond
• Bond order


  It is the number of bonds between atoms.
• Cation


  An atom with a positive charge.
• Chemical bonds


  The net-forces that holds the atoms together.
• Colloids


  It is a mixture that creates Tyndall effect when light is pass through it.
• Compound


  A substance that is composed of two or more atoms bound by a chemical bond.
• Covalent compound


  A compound that combines 2 or more non-metal.
• Dipole-dipole force


  The attractive forces between polar molecules.
• Dynamic self-assembly


  It dissipates energy so that the interactions responsible for it will occur.
• Electronegativity


  The ability of an atom to attract toward itself the electrons in a chemical bond.
• Elements


  It has definite composition and properties and cannot be broken down into simpler form by any physical or chemical means.
• Heterogeneous mixture


  Oil and water mixture is an example of ______ type of mixture.
• Hydrogen bond


  A special type of dipole force that occur between a molecule with H attached to an electronegative O, N, or F.

  The attractive forces between molecules.
• Ionic compound


  A compound that combines the metal and non- metal
• London dispersion forces


  The attractive forces that is present in all types of molecules including the non-polar molecules.
• Matter


  Anything that occupies space and has mass.
• Polarity


  It occurs when there is an unequal distribution of electrons.
• Self-assembly


  Small chemical units undergo natural and spontaneous mechanisms to form stable, complex, and much larger structures under defined conditions.
• Solution


  It is a mixture that has a uniform composition.
• Static self-assembly


  A system that is at local equilibrium and does not dissipate energy.
• Structural formula


  It is the type of formula that presents the number of bonds and atoms.
• Templated self-assembly


  The type of assembly in which interactions between the components and regular features in their environment determine the structures that form.
• Valence Shell Electron pair Repulsion theory


  It is a theory that determines the shape of the molecule.
• Valence electrons


  It is the outermost electrons that participate in chemical bonding.
