Octet Rule

Chemical compounds tend to form so that each atom, by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons, has an octet of electrons (8) in its highest occupied energy level

2
New cards

Formula Unit

The simplest ratio of the crystal lattice solid

3
New cards

Valence Electrons

The electrons in the highest energy level

4
New cards

Covalent Bond

Nonmetal elements that share electrons to have a more stable noble gas

5
New cards

Electronegativity

Measure of an atoms ability to attract electrons

6
New cards

Ionic Bond

Attraction between atoms where the electrons are transferred from one atom to another (metal to nonmetal)

7
New cards

Cation

Metal atoms that gain or accept electrons; positive ion

8
New cards

Molecule

Neutral groups of atoms that are held together by covalent bonds

9
New cards

Polyatomic Ion

A group of covalently bonded non-metal elements that as a group gain or lose electrons

10
New cards

Anion

A negative ion

11
New cards

Molecular Formula

Shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule of a molecular compound

12
New cards

Ions

Atoms that have gained or lost electrons to have a more stable noble gas configuration

13
New cards

Diatomic Molecule

A molecule consisting of two atoms

14
New cards

Electrolyte

A substance that conducts electrons
