Vocabulary
These specially named electrons make up the outer shell
What are Valence Electrons
Two or more chemical elements sharing electrons
Covalent Bond
The number of atoms in the compound CO2?
What is 3? One atom of Carbon, 2 atoms of Oxygen
These elements make up water
What are hydrogen and oxygen
The resulting charge when a molecule loses an electron
These charged particles are formed during ionic bonding
What are ions?
When electrons are transferred from one element to another to result in a bond
Ionic Bonding
The total number of atoms present in
C6H12O6
What is 24?
The type of molecules which are not linear (in a line) because they share electrons unequally
What are polar molecules?
The reason chemical bonds form between atoms
These are the special names for atoms that have lost an electron, and thus, are positively charged.
What are cations?
The reason the Noble gases are resistant to forming bonds
Their outer shell of electrons is full, therefore stable
The name given to the group of molecules or compounds on the left side of a reaction equation
What are reactants?
The force of attraction between water molecules which causes water to "bead"
What is adhesion?
Bonds created between non-metals and non-metals
What are covalent bonds?
The maximum number of electrons an element's outermost orbit can hold
What is 8?
This type of bond includes at least one metal and at least one non-metal
What is ionic bonding?
The name given to the compounds or molecules on the right side of a chemical equation.
What are products?
The attraction between molecules which allows water to "dome" or "build up" when several drops are added together on a flat surface
What is surface tension?
The type of bonding typical between metals and non-metals
What is ionic bonding?
What is an Anion?
This will form when atoms share electrons unequally
Polar covalent bond
The force of attraction between atoms or groups of atoms
What is a chemial bond?
The ability of water to "flow" or pull it's molecules upwards against gravity
What is capillary action?
The notation used to show electron pairs in the outer shell of chemical elements
What is Lewis dot structure or electron dot structure?
