Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
The most common type of chemical bond. Bond that results from the sharing of several (usually 2) electrons between two atoms.
Term
Chemical Bond
Definition
Connections between two atoms through electrons.
Term
Molecule
Definition
A unit of matter that results when two or more elements are connected through covalent bonds.
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
A bond that results from the transfer of one or more electrons from one element to another. Common form of bonding between metals and non-metals. Metals donate electrons to non-metals who accept.
Term
Ionic Solids
Definition
Solid composed of the regular packing of positive and negative ions.
Term
Ion
Definition
A charged atom where the number of electrons outside is different from the number of protons inside the nucleus.
Term
Cation
Definition
Positively charged ion. Contains more protons in the nucleus than electrons outside the nucleus.
Term
Anion
Definition
Negatively charged ion. Contains more electrons outside the nucleus than protons inside the nucleus.
Term
Polyatomic Ion
Definition
A charged covalently bonded group of elements. An ion that contains more than one nonmetal element.
Term
