exam 3 Flashcards
the attractive force that holds two atoms together in a more complex unit
chemical bond
a chemical bond formed through the transfer of one of more electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another
ionic bond
a chemical bond formed through the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between 2 atoms
covalent bond
an electron in the outermost electron shell of a representative element or noble gas element
valence electron
the chemical symbol of an element surrounded by dots equal in number to the number of valence electrons present in atoms of the element
lewis symbol
_____ elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons
representative
the no. of ____ ______ for representative elements in a group is the same as the periodic table group no.
valence electrons
the maximum no. of valence electrons for any element is ___

in forming compounds, atoms of elements lose gain or share electrons in such a way as to produce a noble gas electron configuration for each of the atoms involved
octet rule
an atom that is electrically charged as the result of loss or gain of electrons
ion
negatively charged ion
anion
positively charged ion
cation
the chemical bond resulting from the attraction of positive and negative ions for each other
ionic bond
ions, or an atom and ions, having the same no. and configuration of electrons
isoelectronic species
a grouping of lewis symbols that shows either the transfer of electrons or the sharing of electrons in chemical bonds
lewis structure
