Structure, Bonding, and Properties Flashcards
1
Q
atomic number/proton number
A
The number of protons in an atom of an element
2
Q
ion
A
A particle with a positive or negative charge, formed when an atom loses or gains electrons
3
Q
giant ionic structure
A
A 3d structure of negative and positive ions in an ionic compound
4
Q
ionic compound
A
A compound made up of ions. Most compounds made out of a metal and non metal are ionic.
5
Q
ionic bonding
A
The electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions in a giant ionic structure. Ionic bonds act in all directions.
6
Q
covalent bond
A
A shared pair of electrons that holds two atoms together
7
Q
giant covalent structure
A
A 3d network of atoms joined together by covalent bonds
8
Q
giant metallic structure
A
A 3d pattern of positive metal ions held together by moving electrons
