A charged particle, it can be either positive or negative.
What is an ion?
100
The electron dot structure of boron.
What is B in the middle of three separate dots?
100
The type of bond formed between a cation and an anion.
What is an ionic bond?
100
The electron dot structure of carbon.
What is four separate dots around the C? (no credit for pairs)
100
The forces of attraction between the free-floating valence electrons and the positively charged metal ions, these are the bonds that hold metals together.
What are metallic bonds?
200
The number of valence electrons in calcium.
What is 2?
200
The name for a positively charged ion.
What is cation?
200
The chemical formula of the ionic compound formed between lithium and fluorine.
What is LiF?
200
The number of valence electrons in niobium.
What is 2? (only the s's and p's are valence electrons)
200
The valence electrons of a pure metal are often described by this three-letter word, as the electrons are able to float freely.
What is sea?
300
The number of electrons that aluminum most commonly loses to form its ion.
What is 3?
300
When you add the number of electrons gained or lost by oxygen to form its ion to the number gained or lost by nitrogen to form its ion, you get this number.
What is 5?
300
The chemical formula of the compound formed between aluminum and iodine.
What is AlI3?
300
The chemical formula of the ionic compound formed between potassium and oxygen.
What is K2O?
300
A name for a homogenous mixture, such as stainless steel, that includes one or more metals.
What is an alloy?
400
Although helium is an exception, the rest of the elements in its group obey this rule for filling up its highest energy level.
What is the octet rule?
400
The complete ground state electron configuration of nitride.
What is 1s22s22p6?
400
While it's wrong to call the chemical formula for an ionic compound a "molecule," it's right to call it this.
What is a formula unit?
400
The chemical formula of the compound formed between aluminum and oxygen.
What is Al2O3?
400
The word given to substances, like most metals, that can be pounded into thin sheets.
What is malleability (or malleable)?
500
The specific name given to the anion of a group 7A element.
What is halide?
500
The total number of electrons in the cation of table salt.
What is 10? (neutral sodium less one electron)
500
Ionic compounds can be good conductors, but only in one of these two conditions.
What is molten (melted) or aqueous (in solution, or dissolved in water)?
500
The ground state electron configuration of arsenide, using the noble gas shorthand.
What is [Ar]4s23d104p6.
500
Of the two types of alloys, this is the one where the atoms are of significantly different size, so that the smaller ones can fit into the spaces between the larger ones.
What is interstitial? (the other one is substitutional, where the atoms are of roughly equal size)
