Bonding

A substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds

• compound

• element

• valence electron

• ion

used to tell what elements and how many of each element are in a unit of a compound

• valence electron

• ion

• chemical formula

• compound

Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have 8 electrons in their outer energy shell

• octet rule

• stability

• valence electrons

• ions

full/complete outer energy level of valence electrons.

• valence electrons

a force that holds atoms together in a substance

• chemical bond

• physical bond

when atoms transfer electrons in order to be stable.

• ionic bond

• covalent bond

positively charged ions

• cations

• anions

negatively charged ions

• cations

• anions

the charge of an ion within a compound
