Marshmallow is made up of nonmetals has longer bond lengths than sword dose.
What is one example of a covalent bond?
Nonmetal and nonmetal
What is a molecular formula?
A chemical formula that shows the number and kinds of atoms in a molecule, but not the arrangement of atoms
What is a bond length?

What can be learned from looking at a model of a compound?
How many oxygens and how many hydrogens?
What is an ionic bond?
A bond is formed by the attraction between oppositely charged ions
What is an empirical formula?
The composition of a compound in terms of the relative numbers and kinds of atoms in the simplest form
What is a bond angle?
The angle formed by two bonds to the same atom
What is the difference between exothermic and endothermic?
Endothermic is a chemical reaction that holds in heat. Exothermic is a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings.
What is one example of a metallic bond?
metal and metal =copper,gold,silver,iron,brozen
What is a covalent bond?
A bond is formed when atoms share one or more electrons
A nonmetal plus a nonmetal
When does an atom either become a positive ion (cation) or a negative ion (Anion)?
When loose or gain electrons
What is a valence electron?
An electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and determines the atom's chemical properties
What is a chemical bond?
