| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Balanced Chemical Equations | equation with same number of atoms on each side of equation |
| binary compound | compound made up of atoms of two elements |
| covalent bond | type of bond formed between atoms when they share electrons |
| covalent bonds | strong and chemically stable |
| ion | positively or negatively charged atom whose charge results from gain or loss of one or more electrons |
| ionic bond | type of bond formed by the attraction of positively charged ions to negatively charged ions |
| nonpolar molecule | molecule with balanced charges whose electrons are shared equally |
| molecule | neutral particles formed when electrons are shared by atoms rather than being gained or lost |
| oxidation number | numbers of electrons an atom gains, loses, or shares when bonding with another atom |
| polar molecule | molecule with unbalanced charges as a result of electrons being shared unequally |
| poly atomic ion | made of group of positively or negatively charged covalently bonded atoms |
