Cation
Positively charged atom and has fewer electrons than its neutral form.
anion
Negatively charged atom and has more electrons than its neutral form
Isotopes
2 atoms of the same element having a different number of neutrons
Mass Number
The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have different mass numbers.
Elements in the same ROW
...are similar in size.
Elements in the same COLUMN
....have similar electronic and chemical properties.
Atomic Number
Number of Protons
Bonding
The joining of two atoms in a stable arrangement. Always leads to lowered energy and increased stability.
Rule that governs the bonding process:
Through bonding, atoms attain a complete outer shell of valence e-
Ionic Bonds
Result from the transfer of electrons from one element to another. Generally occurs when elements on the far left side of the periodic table combine with elements on the far right side. The resulting ions are held together by extremely strong electrostatic interactions.
Compound (bonds)
Has ionic or covalent bonds
Molecule (bonds)
Has only covalent bonds
Predicted # of Bonds = ___________
8 - (# of valence electrons)
Arrow direction drawn in ionic compound points _____
from e- rich (negative sign) to electron poor (positive sign)
Formal Charge
The charge assigned to individual atoms in a Lewis structure.

(#Valence electrons) - (# electrons owned)
Number of Electrons Owned
(# electrons unshared) + 1/2(# electrons shared)
Resonance Structures
Two Lewis structures having the same placement of atoms but a different arrangement of electrons.
Methanol
CH4O
Ethylene
C2H4
Exceptions to octet rule (hypervalence)
B, and any atom 3rd row and on.
Acetylene
C2H2
Bonds where there will be resonance
∏𝜎∏
∏𝜎V
∏𝜎N
V𝜎N
No vacancy
N = lone pair; negative charge
Vacancy
V = empty orbital; neutral or positive charge
A better resonance structure has:
more bonds and fewer charges
Placement of charges in Resonance Structures
- charges on more elctronegative atom [N,O]

+ charges on more electropositive atom [B,C]
Bond Lengths
Decrease across a row as the size of the elements decrease, and increase down a group.

Cis
same side
Trans
opposite side
In Skeletal Structures, charge:
- takes the place of one hydrogen
