Atomic Number | The number of protons or electrons normally found in an atom of a given chemical element |
Atomic Weight | the mass of a single atom of a chemical element |
Electron Affinity | the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron. |
Electronegavity | measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons |
Atomic Radius | the size of the atom |
Metallic Character | the name given to the set of chemical properties associated with elements that are metals |
Types of chemical bonds formed | An ionic bond is formed by the attraction of oppositely charged atoms, A covalent chemical bond results from the sharing of electrons between two atoms, (metallic), The valence electrons of pure metals are not strongly associated with particular atoms |
Valence Electrons | is an electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond |
Ionized Energy | the minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron (to infinity) from the atom or molecule in the gaseous state |
Melting point | the temperature at which a solid substance melts or fuses |
Number of Bonds Formed | the number of bonds is in each of an element, each element have there own number of bonds |
