🗑
ionic bond   a process that happens during bonding when elements lose or gain electrons  
🗑
covalent bond   a process that happens during bonding when elements share electrons  
🗑
chemical change/reaction   when elements create some kind of reaction through the attraction of electrons  
🗑
compound/molecule   when at least two elements chemically combine together to create a whole new substance  
🗑
mixture   when at least two elements physically combine together, they do not create a whole new substance  
🗑
Nobel gases   the most stable elements in group #18 that have 8 electrons in the outer shell  
🗑
halogens   very easily reactive and bond-able elements with group #1 and they want to be stable  
🗑
alkali metals   group #1 has very reactive elements with only one valence electron  
🗑
metalloids   elements with 3-7 valence electrons that can react either way due to being in between metals and non-metals  
🗑


   

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.
