chapter 1 Flashcards
chemical bounding
the combinding of atoms to form molecules or ionic compounds
chemical bound
an interaction that holds atoms or ions togather
valence electron
an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an anom and that determines the atoms chemical property
ionic bound
a bound that forms when electrons are transfered from one atom to another, wich results in a positive ion and a negatiave ion
ion
a charged particle that forms when an atom or group of atoms gains or looses one or more electrons
crystal lattice
the regular pattern in wich a crystal is arranged
coavealnt bound
a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
molecule
the smallest unit of a substance that keeps qll of the physical and chemical properties of that substance
metalliac bound
a bound formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the alectrons around them
