Term
What is Chemistry
Definition
The science that deals with composition and properties of substance and various elementary forms of matter
Term
covalant bond is
Definition
a bond that has equal sharing electrons
Term
Electrons are
Definition
found on the outer shell of a atom and are associated with chemical activity of an atom
Term
What is a isotope
Definition

two forms of the same atom with different amount of neutrons

( a atom with more neutrons makes it less stable)

Term

Definition

 a bond that involves the GER( gaining of an Electron)

or the LEO ( the loss of an electron)

like the micky mouse ears.. H2O

Term
What is the difference between Atomic mass and Atomic number
Definition

Atomic number is the amount of protons in a Atom it never changes.

Atomic mass is how much an atom weights with the neutrons and protrons together

Term
