Van Der Waals interactions
________ occur when atoms get just close enough that a few electrons in their valence shell (electron cloud) touch.
Adhesion

Surface tension
________ is a measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid.
aqueous solution
A(n) ________ is one in which the solute is dissolved in water, water is the solvent.
radioactive isotope
A(n) ________ is one in which the nucleus decays spontaneously giving particles and energy.
hydrogen bond
A(n) ________ is formed when there is a noncovalent attraction between hydrogen and an electronegative atom.
chemical behaviour of an atom
The ________ depends mostly on the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
chemical bonds
Attractions between atoms are called ________.
polar covalent bond
A(n) ________ is when an atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom, the electrons will therefore not share equally.

Trace elements
________ are required by an organism in only minute quantities.
particular atom
The attraction of a(n) ________ for the electrons of a covalent bond is called its electronegativity.
covalent bond
A(n) ________ is the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms.
