| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Valence Electrons | The electrons farthest from the nucleus; they are responsible for atoms forming compounds. |
| Molecule | 2 or more atoms chemically combined. |
| Compounds | 2 different atoms chemically combined |
| Mixture | A combination of two or more different atoms or molecules that are not chemically combined. |
| Covalent bond | Chemical bond between two or more non-metals. |
| Ionic bond | Chemical bond between a metal and a non-metal. |
| Octet rule | Elements are stable when their valence shell is full this can be done with 8 or in some cases 2. |
| Alkali metals | 2 valence electrons and the way that they behave is that they are very reactive to water. |
| Alkali earth metals | They can be cut with a knife, 2 electrons |
| Transition metals | 3 valence electrons , they're shiny and they react to heat. |
| Halogens | 7 valence electrons, they are poor conductors and have low boiling points. |
| Inert gases | 8 valence electrons, they are odorless, colorless, and transparent. |
