What is a covalent bond?
100
When an atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a _______ ion.
What is negative?
200
This is the smallest particle of an element.
What is an atom?
200
Each group or family in the periodic table has its own characteristic properties based on the number of these.
What are valence electrons?
200
An ionic bond is formed by this.
What is the attraction between oppositely charges ions?
200
This is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
What is a double bond?
200
Because the force of attraction between the positive and negative ions is so strong, ionic compounds have _________ melting points.

This is the greatest number of valence electrons an atom can have.
What is 8?
300
Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of these.
What are polyatomic ions?

300
The number of _________ __________ in an atom of an element determines its chemical properties.
What is Valence Electrons?
400
This English chemist proposed an atomic theory that states all elements are composed of atoms that cannot be divided.
Who is John Dalton?
400
The atomic number of an element indicates the number of these two sub-atomic particles it contains.
What are the number of protons and electrons?
400
These are characteristic properties of ionic compounds.
What are they have crystal structures, high melting points, and electrical conductivity?
