Ionic Bonds
This type of bond forms when one atom steals an electron from another atom.
an ionic bond
These types of elements are most likely to form covalent bonds with each other
nonmetals (anions)
When two elements or compounds combine to form a more complex substance, it’s called this type of reaction
synthesis reaction
A substance with a pH greater than 7 is considered this.
This process occurs when an atomic nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei.
fission
In an ionic bond, this type of charged particle is created when an atom gains an electron
anion
Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple, depending on this feature.
the number of shared electrons
In this reaction type, a compound breaks down into simpler substances
decomposition reaction
This term describes a substance that releases hydrogen ions (H⁺) in solution.
acidic
The Sun generates energy primarily through this nuclear process.
fusion
This group of elements in the periodic table readily forms ionic bonds with halogens.
alkali metals
Molecules like O₂ have this specific type of covalent bond involving two pairs of shared electrons
double bond
This type of reaction involves the exchange of elements between two compounds
double replacement reaction
Litmus paper turns this color when it comes in contact with a very strong acid
red
This process, commonly used in nuclear power plants, involves splitting uranium atoms
fission
In an ionic bond, this rule describes how atoms combine to have eight electrons in their outer shell.
the octet rule
A covalent bond involving the sharing of three pairs of electrons is known as this.
a triple bond
A combustion reaction typically involves these two reactants
This scale, ranging from 0 to 14, measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
the pH scale
These are 3 advantages to nuclear power plants
Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions
High Energy Density
Reliability and Base Load Power
Ionic bonds typically form between these types of elements.
metals and nonmetals
Covalently bonded elements have a satisfied octet rule by _____
sharing electrons
In this type of reaction, a single element replaces another in a compound
single replacement reaction
When you add this type of substance to an acid, it raises the solution’s pH, moving it closer to neutral
a base
These are 3 disadvantages of nuclear power plants
Radioactive Waste
Risk of Accidents
High Initial Costs
