| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ionic Bond | Is formed when atoms are joined together by transferring electrons between metal and non-metal elements. |
| Covalent Bond | Is formed when atoms are joined together by sharing of electrons between non-metals elements. |
| Octet and Duplet | Stable electron arrangement with eight of two where elements do not donate, receive or share electrons with other elements. |
| Chemically inert/nonreactive | An atom achieved stable octet/duplet electron arrangement that do not donate, receive or share electrons with other elements. |
| Proton number | Number of protons in a nucleus of an atom. |
| Nucleon number | Number of protons and neutron of an atom. |
| Melting point | Temperature where a substance changes from solids to liquid or vice versa. |
| Boiling point | Temperature where a substance changes from liquid to gas or vice versa. |
| Isotopes | An atom of an element that has same number of protons but different number of neutrons/nucleon. |
| Empirical formula | Empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of atoms of different elements present in the chemical compound. |
| Molecular formula | Molecular formula is the chemical formula that shows the actual number of atoms of different elements present in a compound. |
| Chemical formula | Representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formula for the substances. |
| Cation | Positively charged ion. |
