Question
Answer
when an atom loses an electron   it becomes a positive ion  
🗑
each family in the periodic table has its own characteristic properties   based on the number of valence electrons  
🗑
an ionic bond is the attraction between   oppositely charged ions  
🗑
polyatomic ions   ions that are made of more than one atom  
🗑
ionic compounds   form hard, brittle crystals with characteristic shapes  
🗑
ionic compounds conduct electricity   when dissolved in water  
🗑
covalent bond   a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons  
🗑
a double bond   two pairs of electrons shared between two atoms  
🗑
s property shared by most molecular compounds   low melting point  
🗑
molecular compounds do not conduct electricity   because they do not break up into ions  
🗑
a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally   is polar  
🗑
in a chemical formula for an ionic compound   the positive ion is written first  
🗑
electrons involved in bonding between atoms are   valence electrons  
🗑
the greatest number of valence electrons an atom can have is   8  
🗑
what happens when water and oil are poured into the same container   the liquids do not mix  
🗑
ionic compounds are   electrically neutral  
🗑
malleable   means that metals can be rolled into thin sheets or beaten into complex shapes  
🗑
alloy   a mixture that is made of two elements, one that is a metal, and has the properties of metal  
🗑
ad advantage of alloys over pure metals   alloys resist rust  
🗑
steel is an alloy combined with   iron  
🗑
examples of alloys   brass and steel  
🗑
a metal crystal   positive metal ions surrounded by freely moving valence electrons  
🗑
ductile   means that metals can be pulled into thin strands or wires  
🗑
metallic bond   the attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it  
🗑
a strong alloy containing carbon, iron, and another metal like chromium or nickel used to make construction equipment is   steel  
🗑
steel   has strength, is resistant to rust, and does not readily react with water  
🗑
valence electrons   shown on electron dot diagrams, transferred or share in bonding, and are loosely held by the nucleus  
🗑


   

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.
