| Velocity | All electromagnetic waves traveling at the same speed |
| Photons | Wave packet of Energy |
| Electron Orbital | Region of space around a nucleus of an atom within which there is 90% probability of finding an electron |
| Orbital | Specific Region of space inside a sublevel |
| Core electrons | electrons in inner energy level |
| valence electrons | electrons in outer sublevel |
| bond | the force that holds two or more atoms together and makes them function as a unit |
| bond energy | the energy required to break a given chemical bond |
| ionic bonds | the attraction between oppositly charged ions |
| ionic compound | a compound that results when a metal reacts with a nonmetal to form cations and anions |
| covalent bond | type of bond in which atoms share electrons |
| polar covalent | the electron are not shred equally because one atom attracts the shared electrons more than one atom |

| dipole moment | property of a molecule in which the charge distribution can be represented by a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge |
| Lewis Structure | representation of a molecule or polyatomic ion showing how valence are arranged among the atoms in the molecule or ion |
| bond pair | a pair of electrons that are shared between two atoms forming a covalent or polar covalent bond |
| lone pair | electron pairs in a Lewis Structure that are not involved in bonding |
| single bond | a bond in which one pair of electrons is shared by two atoms |
| double bond | two pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms |
| triple bond | three pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms |
| resonance | a condition occurring when more than one valid Lewis structure can be written for a particular molecule |
| solution | homogenous mixture that does not settle |
| alloy | solid mixture with another solid |
| liquid solution | solid, liquid, or gas mixed in with another liquid |
| gaseous solution | solid, liquid, or gas mixed in with a gas |
| aqueous solution | liquid solution in which water is the main component |
| solvent | part present in the largest amount |
| solute | component present in the lesser amount |
| dilute | small amount of solute in mixture |
