Ionic Bonding

A type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Covalent Naming

The system of naming compounds that consist of molecules formed by covalent bonds, typically involving prefixes to denote the number of atoms.

Types of Chemical Reactions

Different categories of chemical reactions, including synthesis, decomposition, single displacement, and double displacement.

Synthesis Reaction

A chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.

Decomposition Reaction

A reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.

Single Displacement Reaction

A type of chemical reaction where one element displaces another in a compound.

Double Displacement Reaction

A reaction involving the exchange of ions between two compounds.

Periodic Trends

Patterns observed in the properties of elements, such as atomic size, ionization energy, and electronegativity across periods and groups.

Balancing Chemical Equations

The process of ensuring that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
