Anion
|
An ion that has a negative charge
|
|
Cation
|
An ion that has a positive charge

|
Chemical Bond
|
The force that holds two atoms together; may form by the attraction of a positive ion for a negative ion or by sharing electrons.
|
|
Ionic Bond
|
The electrostatic force that holds oppositely charged particles together in an ionic compound
|
|
Ionic Compound
|
Compounds that contain ionic bonds
|
|
Monatomic Ion
|
An ion formed from only one atom
|
|
Oxidation Number
|
The positive or negative charge of a monatomic ion.

|
Metallic Bond
|
The attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons
|
|
Alloy
|
A mixture of elements that has metallic properties; most commonly forms when the elements are either similar in size (substitutional alloy) or the atoms of one element are much smaller than the atoms of other (interstitial alloy).
|
|
Lattice Energy
|
The energy required to separate one mole of the ions of an ionic compound, which is directly related to the size of the ions bonded and is also affected by the charge of ions.
