The tendency of an atom to prefer to have all eight valence electrons in its outer shell.

• molecular behavior

• ionic bond

• molecule

• octet rule

Low melting points and boiling points, are poor conductors of heat, and are bendable or pliable, and involve nonmetal atoms

The sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms with similar electronegativity. 

• Covalent Bond

• Ionic Bond

Matter with a composition that is always the same–It can be a single element or a compound.

• Molecule

• Mixture

• Pure Substance

• Ratio

Transfer of electrons between oppositely charged atoms–usually between a metal and a nonmetal–big differences in electronegativity.

• Ionic Bond

• Covalent Bond

NGSS.HS-PS1-3

Two or more atoms (can be the same element or different elements) that are held together by covalent bonds and act as a unit.

• compound

• molecule

• mixture

• ionic bond

Answer explanation

Molecules can be made of one element or more than one element, unlike compounds which HAVE to include two different types of elements.
