compounds
An actual combination of two or more elements
element
Pure substances that can’t be broke down
hydrogen bonds
hydrogen bond is when a weak attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a slightly negative oxygen or hydrogen atom in another
covalent bonds
two atoms share one or more electrons. then become one new atom stuck together
ionic bonds
transfer an electron from its outer shell. then it changes from a neutral atom to either a positive or negative atom
define electrons
tiny particles with a negative charge that whirl around the center of atom
define protons
particles in the center of an atom that carry a positive charge
define matter
anything that occupies space and mass
define isotopes
an atom of an element that contains a diffrenet number of neutrons
define nucleus
center of an atom
define element
a pure substance that cant be broken down or deomposed into two or more substances
