| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| chemical bond | electrostatic attraction holding two atoms close together (not sticks, 2 nuclei attracted to the electrons between them) |
| lower energy state = | more stable two H atoms sharing electrons is more stable than two separate H |

| however, most bonds are __ _______ ionic and covalent bonds | in between |
| electronegativity (EN) | ability of atom to pull electrons in a tight bond towards itself |
| EN has same periodic trend as | electron affinity (EA) and IE (ionization energy) so as you go left to right, it goes up (generally) and as you go from the bottom to the top it also goes up |
