| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The electrons involved in chemical bonding. | Valence |
| An atom or group of atoms that has a charge because it lost or gained an electron. | Ion |
| A bond that forms from the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. | Ionic Bond |
| Ionic bonds occur between these type of elements. | Metals and Nonmetals |
| This bond forms when atoms share valence electrons. | Covalent Bond |
| Covalent bonds occur between these type of elements. | Nonmetals |
| Properties of covalent compounds. | Low melting points, poor conductors |
| A covalent compound with slightly charged ends. | A polar molecule. |
| Starting materials in a chemical reaction. | Reactants |
| Materials you're left with after a chemical reaction's finished. | Product |
| A reaction that releases energy. | Exothermic |
| A reaction that absorbs energy. | Endothermic |
| Two or more substances combine to make a more complex substance. | Synthesis Reaction |
| A complex substance is broken down into 2 or more simpler substances. | Decomposition Reaction |
| The mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. | Law of Conservation of Mass |
| The amount of energy needed to get a reaction started. | Activation Energy |
| A substance that speeds up a reaction without being changed. | Catalyst |
| Part of reactant that's facing outward and is available to react. | Surface Area |
| The idea that reactant molecules must collide with a certain amount of energy to react and form products. | Collision Theory |
| A solid that forms from liquids during a chemical reaction. | Precipitate |
