| Isomers | compound with a single chemical formula but different structural forms |
| Orbital | region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons |
| Compound | substance made of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds-fixed ratio |
| Molecuele | group of atoms that are held together by chemical forces-covalent |
| Ionic Bond | attractive force between oppositely charged ions which forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another- metal to nonmetal |
