Q

Electrons in the outer-most shell that are available for bonding

A

24
Q

A bond which electrons are not shared evenly

A

Polar covalent

25
A bond in which electrons are shared evenly
Non-Polar Covalent
26
This states that atoms will give, take, or share electrons in order to get eight electrons in their outer shell
Octet rule
27
The distance from the nucleus to the outer-most electron; gets larger as you go up, and gets smaller as you go left to right
Atomic radius
28
The amount of energy needed to remove an electron from the atom
Ionization energy
29
how many electrons an atom wants
Electron Affinity
30
Electronegativity
How easily an atom can attract electrons
31
Positively or negatively charged atoms in which electrons have been gained or lost, protons never change.

41
To Move the decimal point to the left until the first number is at least one but less than ten. The number of places that you have to move it becomes the exponent
Scientific Notation
42
How to do scientific notation?
Move the decimal point to the left until the first number is at least one but less than ten. The number of places that you have to move it becomes the exponent
