Ions, Isotopes, various types of chemical bonds

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
compound   two or more atoms (elements) chemically bonded together by a chemical reaction. ex. NaCl  
🗑
covalent bond   When atoms share valence electrons to feel stable. When two non-metals bond together.  
🗑
covalent bond properties   These are weak bonds. They have low melting and boiling points. ex. H20  
🗑
element   Smallest form of matter. Cannot be broken down into a smaller substance. Ex. Au  
🗑
Group 1   Easier to bond with because it has less valence electrons to get rid of. (1 valence e-)  
🗑
Group 14   Hard to bond with because it needs to add or lose 4 electrons to feel stable.  
🗑
Group 17   Easier to bond with because it only needs one more electron to be full. (It has 7 valence e-)  
🗑
hydrogen bond   when water molecules bond to other water molecules.  
🗑
ionic bond   When ions of opposite charges are attracted to one another and bond. When a nonmetal and a metal bond together.  
🗑
ionic bond properties   These are strong bonds. They have high melting and boiling points. Ex. CaCl2  
🗑
ions   Atoms that gain or lose electrons and will have a positive or negative charge.  
🗑
isotopes   Atoms that gain or lose neutrons. They will have a neutral charge and their mass will change.  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass   Mass cannot be created or destroyed. This means the mass before a chemical reaction has to be the same after a reaction.  
🗑
metallic bonds   When two metal atoms bond together by loosely held together valence electrons. They conduct electricity, have luster, are malleable, and ductile.  
🗑
metals   are on the left side of the periodic table.  
🗑
Non-metals   are on the right side of the periodic table.  
🗑
metalloids   Can act as a metal or a non-metal. These elements border the stair steps of the periodic table.  
🗑
Positive Charged Ion   Happens when an atom loses electrons.  
🗑
Negative Charged Ion   happens when an atom gains electrons.  
🗑
Cation   A positive charged ion  
🗑
Anion   A negative charged ion  
🗑
Radioactivity   the spontaneous emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus  
🗑
Half-life   length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
