|
ionic bonding
|
involves the complete transfer of the valence electrons from one atom (usually a metal) to the outer level of another atom (usually a non-metal). In the process ions are formed.
|
|
|
covalent bond
|
involves the sharing of electrons between atoms (usually two non-metals or metaloids). Molecules are formed.
|
|
|
electronegativity
|
an atoms ability to attract negative ions in a compound
|
|
|
mole
|
the atomic mass of an element expressed in grams and the formula mass of a compound expressed in grams
|
|
|
emperical formula
|
simplest whole number ratio
|
|
|
law of octaves
|
every eighth element repeated a property of the first
|
|
|
Ionization energy
|
the energy required to remove an electron from the outermost level of an atom. In the process positive ions are formed. The more ions lost, the more energy required. Primarily refers to metals on the left side of the table
|
|
|
Electron Affinity
|
the energy which occurs when an atom takes on additional electrons to form a negative ion.
