skience
a representation of the valence electrons of an atom that uses dots around the symbol of the element.
electron dot diagram
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
ionic bond
A bond formed between two atoms with a difference in electronegativities by sharing electrons
polar covalent bond
an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
ion
a mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols.
chemical formula
an ion that contains more than one atom.
polyatomic ion
a negatively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the anode in electrolysis.
anion
a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.
crystals
force that holds atoms together in a metallic substance.
metallic bond
a positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.
cation
the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms.
covalent bond
a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.
alloy
a connection between two surfaces or objects that have been joined together, especially by means of an adhesive substance, heat, or pressure.
chemical bond
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
molecule
