Across
- 6. bonds hold the atoms together in discrete molecules
- 8. the ability of an atom to attract electrons toward itself in a chemical bond
- 9. neutral group of atoms held together by one or more covalent bonds
- 10. orderly, repeating three dimensional pattern of many ions, ions or molecules
Down
- 1. an electrostatic attraction that holds oppositely charged ions together
- 2. bond in which electrons are shared but not equally between the atoms
- 3. states that atoms tend to form bonds so that each atom has 8 electrons in their valence shell
- 4. a bond in which electrons are shared equally
- 5. bonding pairs of electrons and lone pairs of valence electrons repel each other and push each other as far away as possible to minimize the electrostatic repulsions between them
- 7. electrostatic attraction between the free moving valence electrons and the positively charged metal cations
