NGSS.MS-PS1-1

A substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical or physical means.

• Covalent bond

• Element

A chemical bond where electrons are shared between two atoms. In this type of bond no ions are. You will find these bonds when carbon bonds to other elements.

• Covalent bond

NGSS.MS-PS1-1

A chemical bond between two atoms where one or more electrons are passed from one atom to another. When they give up electrons, each of the atoms should have a filled shell. An example is the sodium chloride bond.
