Bonding
The attractive force between two ions of opposite charge.
What is ionic bonding?
The neutral part of the nucleus.
What are neutrons?
Atoms that lose or gain electrons.
What are ions?
This state of matter has definite shape and definite volume.
What are solids?
When a solid absorbs enough thermal energy to become a liquid.
What is melting?
A substance that is composed of atoms of two or more different elements.
What is a compound?
The part of an atom that has a negative charge and creates a "cloud" or energy levels around the atoms nucleus.
What are electrons?
What is a negative ion?
This state of matter fills a space.
What are gases?
When a liquid releases enough thermal energy to become a solid.
What is freezing?
The bond responsible for a metal's malleability (ability to be bent or shaped without fracturing).
What are metallic bonds?
The portion of an atom that indicates what element the atom is.
What is a proton?
Sodium and chloride form this common ionic bond.
This state of matter flows and has a definite volume.
What are liquids?
When a liquid absorbs enough energy so that the particles can break away from the liquid structure.
What is vaporization?
Water is an example of this type of bond.
What is a covalent bond?
This is formed when an atom has more or less neutrons in the nucleus than the number of proton.
What is an isotope?
What is losing electrons?
This state exists in the form of highly ionized, electrically conduction gas.
What is plasma?
When a gas cools down to the substances boiling point.
What is condensation?
This part of the atom is responsible for chemical bonding (hint: two words).
What are valence electrons?
This is what most of the volume of an atom is.
What is empty space?
Lithium will react in this manner to create a more stable atom.
What is losing 1 electrons (ionic bonding)?
Most solids form a crystalline structure. This is an example of a solid who's particles are arranged randomly.
What is glass?
This is what happens to energy as matter changes states.
What is conserved?
