| Ionic Bond | is fromed when valence electrons are transferred from on atoms to anotther atom. |
| Ion | charged particel that forms when atoms gain or lose electrons. |
| Crystal Lattice | is the repeating 3 dimensional pattern that forms when ions bond...like a cage |
| Covalent Bonds | the type of bond that forms when atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. |
| Metaility Bond | a special between metal ions and the electrons that swim around them. |
| Malleability | metals can be pounded into thin sheets-like aluminum foil. |
