ions
a charged particle that forms when an atom or group gain or losses one or more electron
ionic bond

cystal lattice
the regulat pattern in which a crystal is arranged
molecule
the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance
metallic bond
a bond formed by atttraction between positivley charged matal ions and the electron around them
covalent bond
