🗑
How many valence electrons can an element have?   1 to 8  
🗑
How many valence electrons make an atom stable?   0, 2, or 8  
🗑
What makes an atom neutral?   The same number of protons and electrons  
🗑
When an atom becomes charged after gaining or losing electrons it becomes an.....   ion  
🗑
When an atom loses an electron they have a....   positively charged  
🗑
When an atom gains an electron they become...   negatively charged  
🗑
Name two ions   Na and Cl  
🗑
Name two chemical bonds.   Ionic and Covalent  
🗑
What is an ionic bond?   bond between metals and non metals  
🗑
Ionic bonds produce compounds made up of hard crystals and have what kind of melting point?   high  
🗑
what ending do you put on the second element in an ionic compound?   ide Ex: Sodium Sulfide  
🗑
When does a covalent bond form?   When atoms share valence electrons  
🗑
Where do covalent bonds happen?   between nonmetals  
🗑
What kind of compounds are produced from ionic bonds?   molecular  
🗑
Are molecular compounds poor or good conductors of heat?   poor Ex: H2o  
🗑
What is a polar molecule?   a compound with slighlty charged ends  
🗑
What is a nonpolar molecule   atoms that pull equally on the electrons  
🗑
What is a chemical reaction?   when there is a chemical change in a substance  
🗑
What evidence shows us that a chemical change has happened?   color, gas production, temperature, precipatate(liquids mixed to form a solid)  
🗑
Substances you start with in a chemical reaction are called   reactants  
🗑
The materials you are left with after a chemical reaction are called   products  
🗑

🗑
What is decomposition?   a complex substance broken down in to simpler substances  
🗑
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?   The amount of matter involved in a chemical reaction does not change. Mass of Reactants=Mass of Products  
🗑
What is activation energy?   the amount fo energy needed to get a reaction started  
🗑
What is the collision theory?   reactant molecules collide with a certain amount of energy to react and form products  
🗑
Catalysts   speed up reactions  
🗑
Inhibitors   slow down chemical reactions  
🗑
