What is an ion?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge.
How do ionic bonds form?
They form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions.
What is a covalent bond made from?
A nonmetal and a nonmetal.
What is a metallic bond formed from? You should know this.
Two metals
What is an alloy?
An alloy is a material made of two or elements that has the properties of metal.
Five, six, or seven.
What is an ionic compound?
What is a molecule?
A molecule is a neutral group of atoms joined by covalent bonds.
What is a metallic bond?
An attraction between a positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
What are some metallic properties?
Heat conductivity, electrical conductivity, changes in shape, and luster. Ductility and malleability.
What do ions become when they bond with other elements.
Ionic compounds.
How can you display the way chemicals are arranged?
With a chemical formula.
What are double bonds and triple bonds.
A double bond is a covalent link where atoms share 2 pairs of electrons. A triple bond is a covalent link where atoms share 3 pairs of electrons.
It consists of positive charged metal ions embedded in a "sea" of valence electrons.
Ductility is the ability for a metal to bend but not break.
What happens when an atom loses an electron?
What happens when an atom gains an electron?
It loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion.
It gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion.
What are the properties of ionic compounds?
They are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. They conduct electricity when they are dissolved or melted.
What are polar and nonpolar bonds?
A polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally. A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond where the electrons are shared equally.
Fill in the blank:
The more ______ _______ electrons an atom can add to the "sea", the stronger the metallic bonds within the crystal will be.
valence electrons
What is malleability?
The ability to shape a metal.
What are polyatomic ions?
Ions that are made of more than one ion.
Bonus: What temperature does salt have to be heated to in order for it to melt?
801 degrees Celsius.
Bonus: You have a greasy stain on your shirt. You try to wash it off with water but it didn't come off. You go home and use soap and it comes off. Why?
Think of hydrophobic and hydrophillic.
The grease on the shirt is hydrophobic and doesn't go to the water. The soap attracts the grease and gets it off.

what is this?
Metallic crystal.
The shine of a metal
