Question | Answer |
---|---|
valence electrons | those electrons that have the highest energy level and are held most loosely |
electron dot diagram | depicts the number of valence electrons by the symbol of an element surrounded by dots |
chemical bond | the force of attraction that holds two atoms together as a result of the rearrangement of electrons between them |
ion | an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge |
polyatomic ion | ions that are made up of more than one atom |
ionic bond | the attraction between two oppositely charged ions |
ionic compound | a compound that consists of positive and negative ions |
chemical formula | a combination of symbols that shows the ratio of elements in a compound |
subscript | tells you the ratio of elements in the compound |
crystal | the orderly, three-dimensional arrangement of ions |
covalent bond | chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons |
molecule | a neutral group of atoms joined by covalent bonds |
double bond | formed when two atoms share two pairs of electrons |
triple bond | formed when atoms share three pairs of electrons |
molecular compound | a compound that is composed of covalently bonded molecules |
polar bond | a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally |
nonpolar bond | a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally |
alloy | a mixture made of two or more elements that has the properties of metal |
metallic bond | an attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it |
