100

A very small piece of matter with a negative electric charge, found in all atoms

What is an electron?

100

These electrons are involved in bonding.

What are valence electrons?

100

True or False? An atom can only form ions with one charge.

False. 

100

This is how electrons behave in a covalent bond.

What is shared between atoms?

100

This Noble gas does not need 8 electrons to have a full valence shell.

What is helium

200

The way in which atoms are held together in a chemical compound

What is a bond?

200

Valence electrons are shown using this model.

What is a Lewis dot diagram?

200

This is the difference between an atom & an ion.

An atom is neutral while an ion has a positive or negative charge.

200

Covalent bonds form between elements of this type(s).

What are nonmetals?

200

Atoms bond to look like this.

What is the nearest Noble gas (by atomic number)?

300

A substance formed by a chemical reaction of two or more elements in fixed amounts relative to each other

What is a compound?

300

This rule explains how to find the number of valence electrons an atom has.

What is "drop the one" from group number 13-18 & read the group number for groups 1 & 2?

300

This is the difference between a cation & anion.

A cation has a positive charge & an anion has a negative charge.

300

This is the special name for compounds formed in a covalent bond.

What is a molecule?

300

When hydrogen bonds with chlorine to make hydrochloric acid, a ___ (type of) bond has been formed.

What is covalent?

400

How likely an atom is predicted to change or how it will behave with another atom.

What is reactivity?

400

Correctly draw the Lewis dot diagram for potassium (K).

400

This type of element will become a cation & lose electrons when forming ionic bonds. 

What are metals?

400

Correctly describe the octet rule.

The octet rule explains that atoms need a full valence shell (8 electrons) to be stable. They can get this full octet by losing, gaining, or sharing electrons during bonds.

400

A Lewis structure should be drawn for which type of bond?

What is covalent bond?

500

A particular way atomic and subatomic particles affect one another

What is an interaction?

500

Correctly model the bond formed when sulfur bonds with hydrogen to make hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Is this an ionic or covalent bond? 

500

Correctly draw the Lewis dot diagram for an ion of Aluminum (Al) with a 2+ charge.

Sorry, it won't let me add a picture. 

This Lewis dot diagram would have one valence electron on aluminums chemical symbol (Al).

500

This is a correct description of the acronym: HONC 1-2-3-4.

This is a way to remember the number of bonds nonmetals can make when bonding together. Hydrogen can only form a single bond, oxygen can form a double bond, nitrogen can form a triple bond, and carbon can form a variety of bonds (with a total of 4 bonds). 

500

Correctly model the bond formed when magnesium & chlorine combine to form magnesium chloride. Is this an ionic or covalent bond?
