S orbital

Radon
The tool that chemists use to determine electron configuration
Periodic Table
Atoms with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons
Isotopes
Double Bond
Quantum Mechanical Model
Atoms in the same column of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons with very similar chemical behavior
Family
First dot to the right of the symbol, second dot on the bottom. Third dot placed to the left of the symbol, and fourth dot placed on top. Repeat.
The order of the valence electron dots placed in the Lewis Structure.
A protective layer around the earth, and an extremely poisonous gas.
Ozone
A shared pair of valence electrons that holds atoms together in covalent compounds
Covalent Bond
Ground State
A noble gas with only 2 electrons
Helium
When nonmetals try to gain electrons so their Lewis structures reach the ideal electron configuration with 8 dots around it.
Ionic Compound
Homonuclear Diatomics
A measure of how strongly an atom attracts extra electrons to itself
Electronegativity
The electrons that exist farthest from an atom's nuclues
Valence Electrons
83.8
Krypton
In an ionic compound, this type of element type tries to lose electrons so their Lewis structures reach the ideal configuration (with no dots around them)
Metals
Exceptions on the periodic table in the list of rules when determining charge
Ge, Sn, Pb
Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Ozone
The three tiered system of elements that God created to protect earth from high-energy light.
An orbital that has 3 different orbitals for every energy level
The P orbital.
Atoms strive to attain 8 Valence electrons
Octet Rule
An atom that has gained or lost electrons to become electrically charged.
Ion
This becomes smaller as you travel from left to right on the periodic table, as the nucleus exerts more electrical for on the electrons.
The size of atoms.
Elements on the left side of the periodic table give up their electrons easily, while atoms on the right side give up their electrons grudgingly.
