Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front antibonding orbital
    Back molecular orbital located outside of the region between two nuclei; electrons in an antibonding orbital destabilize the molecule
  • Front axial position
    Back location in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry in which there is another atom at a 180° angle and the equatorial positions are at a 90° angle
  • Front bond angle
    Back angle between any two covalent bonds that share a common atom
  • Front bond dipole moment
    Back separation of charge in a bond that depends on the difference in electronegativity and the bond distance represented by partial charges or a vector
  • Front bond distance
    Back (also, bond length) distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 7, 8 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
