An ionic bond is the transfer of valence electrons between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that creates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, the non-metal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. Ionic bonds require an electron donor, metal, and an electron acceptor, nonmetal. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble-gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Subatomic Particles and the periodic table 1. The three particles and their properties An atom has no overall charge. The protons (positively charged) and neutrons (no charge) make up the nucleus of an atom, and this is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. There are as many protons as electrons, so they balance each other out, creating a neutral relative charge on the atom. Neutrons, Protons and electrons are all sub-atomic particles.
Explain your reasoning. * An atom of Y would be smaller than X because the ionization levels are larger than X. The electrons of Y are bound to the nucleus stronger than the X electrons. 8.30. Periodic Properties II Consider two hypothetical elements, W and Z.
Which type of intermolecular attraction (dispersion force, or hydrogen bond) exists in each of the following liquids? hydrogen bond hydrogen bond dispersion force hydrogen bond Predict which liquid in each pair has the higher boiling point. CH3COOH C2H5OH If the molecules in a liquid are weakly attracted, which of the following properties has a high value? vapor pressure (high when attraction is low) boiling point is low (it is only high when molecules are strongly attracted) viscosity is low (it is only high when molecules are strongly attracted) surface tension is low (it is only high when molecules are strongly attracted) Distinguish between a solid and a liquid at the molecular level. Solids and liquids differ at

A) double; covalent B) double; ionic C) single; covalent D) single; ionic E) triple; covalent 3.
The electrons of an atom are bound to the nucleus by the electromagnetic force. A group of atoms can remain bound to each other by chemical bonds based on the same force, forming a molecule. An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is neutral; otherwise it is positively or negatively charged and is known as an ion. An atom is classified according to the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus the number of protons controls the element, and the number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element. A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds Molecules are recognized from ions by their lack of

Bonding Formal Lab Introduction (with Background information): Any substance, whether it is a metal or nonmetal, people can determine it by seeing if it is shiny, soft, or reactive. Metals are shiny, reactive, and have high melting points, while nonmetals are soft, have low melting points and not very reactive, and that is how anyone can determine whether a substance is a metal or a nonmetal. Covalent bonding is when two atoms share electrons, but it only occurs in two nonmetals only. They have low melting points and they are not soluble. Although, Ionic bonding is when an atom gives away elections to another atom, which only happens in a metal and a nonmetal, and they have high melting points and are soluble.
Nuclear fussion: Nuclear fusion is the process in which two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. The total masses of the products are less than the combined mass of the two light nuclei. The energy equivalent of the loss of mass is released. The release of energy during nuclear fusion can also be calculated from the values of the
Static electricity is produced from a process known as triboelectrification. To show how much static electricity an object has, it is determined by its position on the triboelectric series. Its position on this scale is determined by how tight the atom is holding the electrons. An atom is more positive in the triboelectric series if a material is more apt to give up electrons when in contact with another material. If a material is more apt to "capture" electrons when in contact with another material, it is more
