| Covalent Bond | a bond caused by the sharing of electrons between non-metals |
| Ionic Bond | a bond caused by the mutual attraction between oppositely charged metallic an non-metallic ions |
| Metallic Bond | a bond caused by the sharing of electrons between metal atoms |
| Metals | elements found on the left of the staircase |
| Nonmetals | elements found on the right of the staircase |
| Chemical Formula | a symbolized description of the elements that forma compound |
| Formula Unit | the smallest repeating pattern in an ionic compound |
| Coordination Number | a "charge" found on an atom or ion |
| Empirical Formula | the lowest whole number ratio of ions in a compound |
