Periodically
In general what elements are found on the left side of the periodic table?
Metals
The interaction of two or more element’s valence electrons.
Chemical Bond
What is a valence electron?
Electron in the outermost shell/ring of an atom
These are atoms with more protons than electrons
Cations
How many columns are on the periodic table?
18
In general what elements are found on the right side of the periodic table?
Nonmetals
Bonds between metals and nonmetals that are formed when electrons are gained or lost
Ionic Bonds
Lithium wants how many valence electrons?
Two
These are atoms with more electrons than protons
Anions
What column are the Noble Gasses found?
18th
There is a staircase of elements towards the right side of the periodic table called
Metalloids
Bonds that are formed when electrons are shared between nonmetals
Covalent
Oxygen wants how many valence electrons?
Eight
These molecules have a positively charged and negatively charged side
Polar Molecules
What column are the Alkali Metals found?
1st
More electronegative elements are found here on the periodic table
Upper right side or nonmetals (except for the noble gasses)
This forms when sodium and chlorine bond together
Ionic compound
Helium wants how many valence electrons?
Two
These molecules have an even distribution of electrons
Non-polar molecules
What column are the halogens located?
17th
How can we use the periodic table to predict the number of valence electrons an element has?
The column number correlates
1=1, 2=2, 13=3, 14=4, 15=5, 16=6, 17=7, 18=8
How many chemical bonds can elements in column 17 make?
One
Cations
This is the desire of an element to gain electrons
Electronegativity
What column are the Alkaline Earth Metals located?
2nd
