Ionic Bonding

4. A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms, typically involving a metal and a nonmetal.
6. Diagrams showing the arrangement of valence electrons in atoms and molecules.
9. Elements typically with properties like shine, conductivity, malleability, found on the left side of the periodic table.
10. A guideline stating that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons (except for hydrogen and helium).
12. Symbols used to show the oxidation state of elements in chemical compounds.
13. An electrically charged atom or molecule, either positively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion), due to electron loss or gain.
15. A negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons.
17. An ion composed of multiple atoms bonded together with an overall charge.

1. A number indicating the electron gain or loss of an element in a compound.
2. A compound made up of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions) held together by ionic bonds.
3. Elements typically without metallic properties, found on the right side of the periodic table.
5. A symbolic representation of a chemical compound's elements and their ratios using chemical symbols and subscripts.
7. Small numbers or symbols written to the upper right of chemical symbols indicating ion charges or the number of atoms in a molecule.
8. A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.
11. Small numbers or symbols written to the lower right of chemical symbols indicating the number of atoms in a compound.
14. A system for naming chemical compounds established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
16. An ion formed from a single atom, typically with a simple charge.
