An  is an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge

ion

100

indicates the relative number of each type of atom necessary to form a single unit of a compound.

a chemical formula 

100
  1. For compounds that form molecules, shows the types and number of atoms necessary to form a single molecule.



the molecular formula 

100
  1.  occur when we give and take valence electrons 

ionic bonds 

100

A charged group of covalently bonded atoms is known as a  

polyatomic ion 

200
  1. The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element 

  1. ionization energy. 

200

The ability to attract electrons are called .

electronegativity

200

  form because electrons are lost, gained or shared between atoms.

Chemical compounds

200

 is an electron configuration in which only the valence electrons are shown, indicated by dots.

electron dot notation

200
  1. The chemical bonding that results from the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons is called 

metallic bonding 

300
  1.  are simply identified by the name of the element. For example, K is a potassium atom and K⁺ is a potassium ion

monoatomic cation

300
  1.  is any chemical compound whose simplest units are molecules.

A molecular compound 

300
  1. If carbon is present, then it’s the 

central atom

300

 is a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together.

a chemical bond 

300

 is a simple chemical rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have 8 electrons in their balance shells, giving them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas

octect rule 
400

 is a neutral group of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds.

a molecule 

400
  1. The electrons available to be lost, gained or shared in the formation chemical compounds are referred to as 

valence electrons

400

never on the center 

hydrogen 

400
  1.  are identified by dropping the end of the elements name and adding the suffix -ide. For example Cl is chlorine atom and Cl⁻ is chloride ion. 

moatomic anions

400

 can’t conduct electricity, but if it melts or dissolves in water, then the ion can conduct electricity.

Solid ionic compound

500
  1.  results from the sharing of electrons pairs between 2 atoms.

covalent bonds 

500
  1. form attractions between positive and negative ions. (metal + nonmetal) They don’t share, they transfer.

ionic bonds 

500
  1.  any ion that is formed from a single atom

  1. Monatomic Ions
