Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory a model in chemistry used to predict the shape of
individual molecules based upon the extent of electron-pair electrostatic repulsion
Double covalent bond a chemical bond that involves sharing two pairs of electrons between
atoms in a molecule
London dispersion theory an intermolecular attraction resulting from the constant motion of
electrons and the creation of instantaneous dipoles (for non polar)
Network solid- In a network solid there are no individual molecules and the entire crystal may be
considered a macromolecule
Structural formula- n expanded molecular formula showing the arrangement of atoms within the
molecule
Polar bond- bond between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally
