Question
Answer
Electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom   valence electrons  
🗑
Reflects that elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas electronic configuration as a noble gas   octet rule  
🗑
Elements that have a single electron shell which accommodates only 2 electrons, are exceptions to the octet rule include electronic configuration as a noble gas.   Hydrogen (H), Helium(He)  
🗑
Atoms that do not have 8 valence electrons _________ with other elements in order to have an electron configuration similar to a _________   react noble gas  
🗑
Model of an atom with its valence electrons   electron dot diagram  
🗑
Some elements achieve ___________ electron configurations through the __________ of electrons between atoms   stable transfer  
🗑
When the transfer occurs, the atoms no longer have the same number of protons and electrons so they are no longer __________   neutral  
🗑
An atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge   ion  
🗑
Atom gains electrons to form an __________ with a negative charge   anion  
🗑
Atom loses electrons to form a _________ with a positive charge   cation  
🗑
The force that holds atoms or ions together as a unit   chemical bond  
🗑
The force that holds cations and anions together (chemical bond between ions)   ionic bond  
🗑
An ionic bond forms when __________ are transferred from one atom to another   electrons  
🗑
The __________ the ionization energy, the easier it is to remove an electron from an atom   lower  
🗑
The amount of energy used to remove an electron is called   ionization energy  
🗑
Ionization energies tend to _________ from left to right across a period   increase  
🗑
It takes more energy to remove an electron from a ________ than from a metal in the same period   nonmetal  
🗑
Ionization energies tend to __________ from the top of a group to the bottom.   decrease  
🗑
A notation that shows what elements a compound contains and the ratio of the atoms or ions of these elements in the compound   chemical formula  
🗑
Solids whose particles are arranged in a lattice structure are called   crystals  
🗑
Crystals are classified into groups based on the ___________of their crystals   shape  
🗑
Two factors that determine the arrangement of ions in a ionic crystal   the ratio of ions the relative sizes of the ions  
🗑
The symmetrical three-dimensional arrangement of atoms inside a crystal   crystal lattice  
🗑
The charge on an ion is also called its _________   oxidation number  
🗑
Atoms that do not have 8 valence electrons _________ with other elements in order to become stable as the noble gases   react  
🗑
Names of anions are formed by placing the suffix _________ after part of the name of the nonmetal   -ide  
🗑
Show the number of atoms present in each molecule   subscripts  
🗑
Ions come together to form   neutral compounds  
🗑
Chemical bond in which 2 NONMETAL atoms share a pair of valence electrons   covalent bond  
🗑
Model that shows orbitals of atoms overlapping when a covalent bond forms   space-filling  
🗑
A neutral group of atoms that are joined together by one or more covalent bonds   molecule  
🗑
In a covalent bond, the atoms are held together by the _________ between the shared electrons and the protons in each nucleus   attractions  
🗑
Elements at the _________ of a group have a greater attraction for elements than elements at the _________ of the group   top bottom  
🗑
Covalent bond in which electrons are NOT shared equally   polar covalent bond  
🗑
When atoms from a polar covalent bond, the atom with the greater attraction for electrons has a partial _________ charge   negative  
🗑
Factors that determine whether a molecule is a polar or nonpolar   the type of atoms the shape of the molecule  
🗑
Example of a polar molecule   water  
🗑
In a water molecule, the hydrogen has a partial _________ charge, and the oxygen has a partial _________ charge   positive δ+ negative δ-  
🗑
Attractions between polar molecules are _________ than attractions between nonpolar molecules   stronger  
🗑
When a metal forms more than one ion, the name of the ion contains a Roman numeral to indicate the _________ on the ion   charge  
🗑
Because all compounds are neutral, the total charges on the cations and anions in the formula of a ionic compound must add up to _________   zero  
🗑
The most _________ element appears first in the name (farthest to the left)   metallic  
🗑
In covalent compounds, _________ are used to name the number atoms in molecular compounds   prefix  
🗑
The prefix _________ is not used for the first element   mono  
🗑

🗑
Covalent bond sharing THREE pair of electrons   triple bond  
🗑
