Chemical bond |
The force that holds two atoms together and can form by the attraction between the positive nucleus of one atom and the negative electrons of another. |
|
|
Cation |
A positively charged ion |
|
|
Anion |
A negatively charged ion |
|
|
Ionic bond |
The electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound |
|
|
Ionic compounds |
Compounds that contain ionic bonds |
|
|
Crystal lattice |
A three dimensional geometric arrangement of particles. Here each positive ion is surrounded by negative ions and reversal. |
|
|
Electrolyte |
An ionic compound who's aqueous solution conducts an electric current |

|
Lattice energy |
The energy required to separate 1 molecular of the ions of an ionic compound |
|
|
Formula unit |
The chemical formula for an ionic compound |
|
|
Monotonic ion |
A one-atom ion |
|
|
Oxidation number |
The charge of a monotonic ion |
|
|
Polyatomic ions |
Ions made up I'd more than one atom |
|
|
Oxyanion |
A polyatomic ions composed of an element, usually nonmetal, bonded to one of more oxygen atoms |
|
|
Electron sea model |
Proposes that all the metal atoms in a metallic solid contribute their valence electrons to form a "sea" of electrons |
|
|
Delocalized electrons |
The electrons present in the outer energy levels of the bonding metallic atoms that are not held by any specific atom and can move easily from one atom to the next. |
|
|
Metallic bond |
The attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons |
|
|
Alloy |
A mixture of elements that has metallic properties |
