Chemical Reactions:
Valence electrons
Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom
Chemical Reactions:
1st shell # of Valence electrons
Highest # of valence electrons in outer shells
1st Shell - up to 2 electrons
Others - up to 8 electrons
Chemical Reactions:
Ionic Bond
Formed by the coming together by a loss or gain of electrons
Chemical Reactions:
Cation
Positively charged ion that gave away or lost an electron in an ionic bond
Chemical Reactions:
Anion
Negatively charged ion that gained an electron in an ionic bond
Chemical Reactions:
Covalent Bond
Formed by the sharing of an electron
Chemical Reactions:
Polar bond
Covalent bond in which there is an unequal sharing of the valence electron because one atom has a stronger pull
Example: H2O
Chemical Reactions:
Nonpolar bond
Covalent bond in which there is equal sharing of the extra electron around each atom involved
