Bonding of Elements: 3

        Help!  

Word
Definitions
stable element   An element with a full valence shell (outer energy level).  
🗑
valence shell (level)   Highest energy level containing electrons.  
🗑
ionization energy   The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.  
🗑
electronegativity   An atom's "need" for another electron (in order to become stable).  
🗑
alkali metals   Group 1 of the periodic table; are very reactive and create 1+ ions.  
🗑
ion   An atom that has gained or lost an electron and become positively or negatively charged.  
🗑
cations   positive ions (atoms with less electrons)  
🗑
alkaline earth metals   Group 2 on periodic table. They are reactive and form ions with a 2+ charge.  
🗑
transition metals   Groups 3-12 on the periodic table.  
🗑
halogens   Group 17 on the periodic table. They are the most reactive nonmetal elements and form 1- ions.  
🗑
noble gases   Group 18 on the periodic table. They have a full outer energy level and are stable/ nonreactive elements.  
🗑
ionic bonds   Formed by the transfer of electrons. Compounds formed this way are strong, have high melting points, are usually solid and crystallized.  
🗑
covalent bonds   Formed by the sharing of electrons. Compunds formed are from non-metals, have low melting points.  
🗑
molecules   Formed by covalently bonded elements.  
🗑
polar molecules   Molecules with a partially positive and negative poles.  
🗑
anions   Negative ions. Atoms with more electrons.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
