Cards Term Chemical Bonds Definition Joining of atoms to form a new substance. A chemical bond is a force of attraction that holds two atoms together. Term Valence Electrons Definition The electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. These electrons are used to form bonds. Term Ionic Bonds Definition Electons are transferred between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positive ion. The atom that gains electrons becomes a negative ion. The force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions is an ionic bond. Term Ionoic Bonds usually occure between... Definition Atoms of Metals and Nonmetals Term Energy & Ionic Bonding Definition Energy is needed to remove electrons from metal atoms to form positive ions. Energy is released when most non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negative ions. Term Covalent Bonding Definition Electrons are shared by two atoms. The force of attraction between the nuclei of the atoms and the shared electrons is a covalent bond. Usually occurs between atoms of nonmetals. Term Covalently Bonded Atoms Definition Make molecules. Molecules are the smallest particle of a compound with the chemical properties of the compound.
