science
A way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol
electron dot diagram
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
ionic bond
A covalent bond in which the electron density is unevenly shared between the two bonded atoms, due to a difference in electromagnetically or due to inductive effects.
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
ions which consist of more than one atom
polyatomic ion
anion
a piece of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged plane faces.
crystals
force that holds atoms together in a metallic substance
metallic bond
cation
the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair 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.
