Is a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together.
The valence electrons of an atom of a particular element are shown, indicated by dots placed around the element's symbol.
Is composed of positive and negative ions that are combined so that the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal.
The chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons.
Is a covalent bond in which the bonded atoms have an unequal attraction for the shared electrons.
Formulas in which atomic symbols represent nuclei and inner-shell electrons, dot-pairs or dashes between two atomic symbols represent shared electrons.
The energy released when one mole of an ionic crystalline compounds is formed from gaseous ions.
Is the ability of a substance to be hammered down or beaten into thin sheets.
Malleability
