Chemical Bonding

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
chemical bonding   the combining of atoms to form molecules or ionic compounds  
🗑
chemical bond   the interaction that holds atoms or ions together  
🗑
valence electrons   an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom (they determine how the atom will bond)  
🗑
8 or 2   the number of valence electrons which fill the energy levels  
🗑
ionic bonds   bonds that form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another  
🗑
ion   an atom which has given or taken an electron  
🗑
positive ion   gives (or loses) an electron  
🗑
negative ion   takes (or receives) an electron  
🗑
atoms lose electrons   energy is required  
🗑
atoms gain electrons   energy is given off  
🗑
crystal lattice   a regular pattern in which atoms bond with each other to form a crystal structure  
🗑
covalent bonds   bonds form when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons  
🗑
molecules   the smallest unit of a substance that are bond together with covalent bonds...usually 2 or more elements  
🗑
electron-dot diagrams   show how many valence electrons an atom has  
🗑
diatomic molecules   two atoms of the same element are bonded together  
🗑
diatomic elements   atoms willing to bond with themselves (H, O, N, and the halogens)  
🗑
+2   Charge of atom with 12 protons and 10 electons  
🗑
-2   charge of atom with 16 protons and 18 electrons  
🗑
metallic bonds   bonds that form when positive metal ions are surrounded by free-swimming electrons which are able to adjust between ions  
🗑
properties of ionic bonds   high melting and boiling points and they are brittle  
🗑
properties of metallic bonds   metals can bend without breaking, they are ductile (pulled into wire), and malleable (able to be flattened)  
🗑
energy levels   the way that electrons are organized around the nucleus  
🗑
group numbers on periodic table   help you to know how many valence electrons there are  
🗑
-ide   the ending of a word when it gains negative electrons  
🗑
atomic number   the number of protons in the atom  
🗑
noble gases   have a full set of valence electrons  
🗑


   

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.
