Q

What is Atomic Number?

A

-the amount of protons in an atoms nucleus

1
Q

What is a valence electron?

A

-an electron that is found in the outermost energy level of an atom and that determines the atom’s chemical properties

2
Q

What is an Ionic Bond?

A

-a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, which results in a positive ion and a negative ion

3
Q

What is an Ion?

A

-a chared particle

4
Q

What is a Covalent Bond?

A

-a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of elctron

5
Q

What is a Valence Electron?

A

-an electron that is on the outermost energy level of an atom

6
Q

What is a Crystal Lattice?

A

-the regular pattern in which a a crystal is arranged

7
Q

What is an Electron-Dot Diagram/Lewis-Dot Diagram?

A

-a diagram displaying the amount of valence electrons around the chemical symbol

8
Q

The more easily an atom gains electrons, the more _________ it loses

A

-energy

9
Q

Why can metal bend and not break?

A

-the metallic bonds can bond and not break because the atoms are rapidly moving around

10
Q

Why doesn’t Neon or other noble gases bond easily?

A

-this is because it is a stable gas with a full or almost filll outer energy level

11
Q

What is the smallest possible thing a substance can be separated into?

A

-a molecule

12
Q

What is Ductility?

A

-the property of metal that allows it to be formed into wire

13
Q

What is Malleability?

A

-the property of metal that allows it to be bent into different shapes without it being broken
