Reactants produces products

Definition
Chemical equation
Term
A chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions (metals which lose e- and non-metals which gain e-)
Definition
Ionic bonds
Term
An atom (or group of atoms) that obtains an electric charge by losing or gaining valence electrons
Definition
Ions
Term
An ion made up of one atom (CL- & NA+)
Definition
monoatomic ion
Term
An ion made up of more than one atom, but can be treated as one ion (OH-)
Definition
polyatomic ions
Term
Atoms want to have their outer most energy shell completely filled by gaining or losing electrons. This will result in the atoms having an electric charge.
