lesson 6-7 sceince Flashcards
A type of chemical bonding that formed when a METAL transfers its electron to a NON METAL
Ionic bond
The ability of the element to pull or attract the electrons of the other element toward itself
Electronegativity
Generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group
Electronegativity
The energy needed to pull or remove electrons from an atom.
IONIZATION ENERGY
When the number of electrons and protons are balanced.
NEUTRAL ATOM
is formed whenever a neutral atom gains or loses an electron.
ION
Positive lon)
Atoms that have more protons than electrons due to having lost one or more electrons. (Metals)
Cation
(Negative lon)
Atoms that have more electrons than protons due to having gained one or more electrons. (Nonmetals)
Anion
A type of chemical bonding that formed when a NON METAL shares its electron to another NON METAL
COVALENT BOND
