Chemical Bonding

1. electrostatic attraction that forms between metal atoms resulting in strong crystal lattice
6. electrons in outermost energy level of an atom
10. "full" set of eight valence electrons
11. term used to describe "sea of electrons" responsible for metallic bonding
13. type of bond that forms when difference in electronegativity of atoms is between 1.7 and 0.3
15. arrangement of electrons in an atom
17. alloy that forms from atoms that are similar in size
18. how pairs of electrons are used by atoms in a covalent bond
20. how atoms gain or lose electrons to form ionic bonds
21. positively charged ion formed when an atom loses one or more electrons
22. type of bond that forms when atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons
23. type of atom that typically forms a cation
24. mixture formed by metallic bonding among different types of metal and/or nonmetal atoms
25. valence electrons that are able to be transferred or shared in a chemical bond

2. strong attractive force between atoms or ions
3. property of atoms minimized by forming bonds
4. property of atoms maximized by forming bonds
5. type of bond that forms from atoms transferring electrons
7. substance formed by metallic bonding among one type of metal atom
8. separation of charge found in polar bonds
9. type of bond that forms when difference in electronegativity is less than 0.3
12. property of atoms that determines type of bonds they form
14. alloy that forms from atoms that are very different in size
16. type of atom that typically forms an anion
19. negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains one or more electrons
