Ions |
Atoms with either a positive or negative electrical charge |
|
Cation |
Atoms that lose electrons and have a positive charge. Our metals |
|
Anion |
Atoms that gain electrons can have a negative charge. Protons and electrons do not match. Are nonmetals |
|
Valence Shell |
The outermost shell of an atom |
|
Valence Electron |
The electrons found in the outer most shell of an atom. This is where the chemical reactions and bonding takes place |
|
Ionic Bond |
Type of bond where atoms give electrons to other atoms and there is an attraction between opposite Lee charged ions |
|
Covalent Bond |
This is the type of bond where electrons are shared between atoms.H2O- electrons are shared between H's and O. |
|
Metals |
These are found to the left of the staircase in form ionic bonds with nonmetals: Giveaway electrons in become positive |
|
Non-Metals |
These are found to the right of the staircase and form covalent bonds with each other, or take electrons away from metals to form ionic bonds and become negative |
|
Metalloids |
Please touch the staircase in the periodic table and have properties of both metals and nonmetals |
|
Octet Rule |
Adams want to have 8 electrons in their outer shell=stable |
|
Oxidation Number |
The total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom |
|
Covalent Bond Info. |
-Covalent bonds, no ions are formed because they are both nonmetals -These are non-metals and nonmetals can share -Metals can give |
|
Ionic Bond Info. |
-Ionic bonds make ions because there is a nonmetal and a metal |
