Terms

2. Valence Electron
an electron in an outer shell of an atom that can participate in forming chemical bonds with other atoms

3. Ionic Bond
When electrons are transferred between two ions with opposite charges.
One will be positive (cation) , one will be negative (anion)
It is a bond between a Metal & a Nonmetal

4. Positive Ion and Negative Ion
Positive Ion- Atom that lost electrons (cation)
Formed by a Metal
Negative Ion- Atom that has gained electrons (anion)
Formed by a Nonmetal

5. Covalent Bond
a chemical bond between non-metals formed by the sharing of one or more electrons.

6. a bond between metals creating a sea of electrons
Metallic Bond
a bond between metals creating a sea of electrons

7. Lewis Dot Structures
a way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol.
