This is a force that holds two or more atoms together
What is a chemical bond?
This type of bond has a characteristic of being shiny
What is a metallic bond?
This is how many valence electrons hydrogen (Group 1) has
What is 1 (one)?
This is the general name of a row on the periodic table
What is a period?
This is the chemical formula for water
What is H2O?
This is a group of chemical symbols and numbers that represent the elements and the number of atoms for each element that make up a compound
What is a chemical formula?
This type of bond has a high melting point and high boiling point
What is an ionic bond?
This is how many valence electrons carbon (Group 14) has
What is 4 (four)?
This is the general name for a column on the periodic table
What is a group?
This is who first designed the electron dot diagram
Who is Gilbert Lewis?
This is a group of elements held together by covalent bonding that acts as an independent unit
What is a molecule?
This type of bond has a low melting point and low boiling point
What is a covalent bond?
This is what is used to determine how many valence electrons an element has
The ones column of the group number from the periodic table
These are the particles that make up an atom
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
These two elements only need 2 (two) valence electrons to be stable
What are hydrogen and helium?
This is when an atom is no longer neutral because it has lost or gained electrons
What is an ion?
This type of bond can be hammered into sheets or pulled into wires
What is a metallic bond?
This is an electron dot diagram for oxygen

This is the part of the atom involved in chemical bonding
What are electrons?
This type of bond has substances with dull appearances
What are covalent bonds?
This is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons
What is a covalent bond?
This type of bond is a poor conductor of thermal energy when it is in a solid state
What is an ionic bond?
This is how many valence electrons most atoms need in order to be stable
What is 8 (eight)?
This is what happens to the charge of an atom when it loses electrons
What is it becomes more positive?
These are the steps for how to draw an electron dot diagram
What is:
1. determine the group number of the element
2. use the ones column (place value) to determine the number of valence electrons
3. write the chemical symbol and add the number of dots around the symbol
4. if there aren't 8 electrons, the atom is unstable (unless hydrogen or helium)
5. any unpaired electron tells how many bonds the atom can make
