| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Element | Any pure substance that is made of only one kind of atom |
| Monoatomic elements | Has one atom in its natural state |
| Diatomic elements | Has two atoms in its natural state |
| Periodicity | The repetition of certain properties at regular intervals when elements were placed in order of atomic mass |
| Period | A group on the periodic table |
| Series | A family on the periodic table |
| Metals | The belong to family's with relatively few valence electrons. Luster, malleable, conduct electricity, ductile |
| Non metal | Hold their electrons tightly. Lack luster, brittle, does not conduct electricity, not ductile |
| Electron affinity | Deals with the strength of attraction of electrons to unbounded atoms. |
| Electronegativity | Deals with an atom's ability at attract and hold electrons when bonded to other atoms. |
| Covalent bonds | Nonmetal and nonmetal. Shard electrons |
| Ionic bonds | Metal and non metal. Gives and takes electrons |
| Metallic bonds | Metal and metal. All electrons shared. |
| Electron sea theory | Atoms with weak elecronegativities usually have only a few loosely held valence electrons. |
