Chemistry of Life

2. right side of the periodic table, not shiny or conductive
9. energy needed to remove an electron
10. outermost electron shell of an atom
12. bond between H and N, O, or F
17. bonds within a single molecule
18. chemical rule that says that atoms want 8 electrons in their outer shell
19. stored energy that has the potential to be converted
21. molecule with unequally shared electrons in a bond resulting in a partial charge
22. positively charged ion
24. electron in the outermost energy level

1. size of an atom from nucleus to electron cloud
3. ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond (clue: increases across a period and down a group)
4. forces between polar molecules
5. negatively charged ion
6. slight positive or negative region in a polar molecule
7. unshared/unbonded electrons on an atom
8. bonds between separate molecules
11. water hating! :(
13. molecule with equally shared electrons in a bond resulting in net charge of 0
14. weak forces between nonpolar molecules
15. energy released when an atom gains an electron
16. water loving! :)
20. charged atom or molecule
23. chemically unreactive (eg. noble gases)
