| Covalent Bonding | when two atoms share pairs of electrons |
| Polar | created when bonding atoms have an unequal electron sharing distribution |
| Ionic Bonding | a bond between a Cation and an Anion |
| Polyatomic ion | a charged group of covalently bonded atoms |
| Metallic Bonding | bonding between metal atoms and the "sea" of electrons surrounding their nuclei |
| Chemical Formula | shows the number of atoms bonded together and their quantities by using symbols and subscripts |
| Intermolecular Forces | forces that exist "between" molecules that determine characteristics like, boiling point or their state at specific temperatures |
| Salt | an ionic compound composed of a cation and the anion from an acid |
| Oxidation Number | number assigned to an atom in a "molecular" compound that indicated the basic distribution of electrons among the bonded atoms |
| Formula Mass | sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a chemical formula |
| Percent Composition | percentage by mass of each element in a compound |
| Empirical Formula | base chemical formula of a compound with subscripts showing the lowest whole number mole ratio of the different atoms |
| Ionic Compound | combination of positive & negative ions in an unequal sharing of of electrons but creates a neutral compond |
| Binary Compounds | compounds composed of two different elements |
| Nomenclature | a system used to name chemical compounds and molecules |
| Ductility | a characteristic of a metal that can be used to make wire to conduct electricity |
| Molecule | a covalently bonded group of atoms |
| Nonpolar-Covalent Bond | equal sharing of the electrons in a covalent bond |
| Chemical Bond | a mutally electrical attraction between the positve nucleuses of two or more atoms and the valence electrons of each |
| Lewis Structure | a technique used to determine the organization of valence electrons to help determine the molecular geometry of a molecule or compound |
