Bonds

100

type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound

Ionic Bond

200

a chemical bond is an attraction between atoms. This attraction may be seen as the result of different behaviors of the outermost electrons

Chemical Bond

300

force that holds atoms together in a metallic substance.

Metallic bond

400

Exists when atoms with different electronegativities share electrons in a bond

Polar covalent bond

500

the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms.

Covalent Bond

Atoms

100

system where dots are placed around chemical symbols

Electron dot diagram

200

an expression that shows the elements in a compound and the relative proportions of those elements.

Chemical formula

300

solid is a solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure

Crystal

400

a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.

Molecule

500

metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution

Alloy

Ions

100

an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons

Ion

200

a negatively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the anode in electrolysis.

Anion

300

a positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

Cation

400

 an ion that contains more than one atom.

Polyatomic ion
