Section 1 science Flashcards
Chemical bonding
The combining of atoms to form molecules or ionic compounds
chemical bond
an interaction that holds atoms or ions together
valence electrons
an electon that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atoms chemical properties.
ionic bond
a bond that forms when electrons are transfered from one atom to another, which results in a posotive ion and a negative ion
ion
a charged particle that forms when an atom or group of atoms gains or loses one or more electron
crystal lattice
the regular pattern in which a crystal is arranged
covelant bond
a bond formed when atoms share one or more paris of electrons
molecules
the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance
mettalic bond
a bond formed by attraction between posotivley charged metal ions and the electrons around them
