  1. 1. compound a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
  2. 4. a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits
  3. 5. Structure a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule.
  4. 7. bond a type of bond that occurs when two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other
  5. 10. rule elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell
  6. 11. an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
  7. 12. ion a charged chemical species composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded
  8. 15. bond a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed
  9. 17. element all gases, and they form molecules because they don't have full valence shells on their own.
  10. 18. bond a chemical bond between two atoms involving six bonding electrons instead of the usual two in a covalent single bond.
Down
  1. 2. a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
  2. 3. theory Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory
  3. 6. bond a single bond is a chemical bond between two atoms involving two valence electrons.
  4. 8. formula a set of chemical symbols showing the elements present in a compound and their relative proportions, and in some cases the structure of the compound.
  5. 9. energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.
  6. 13. compound generally any chemical compounds that contain carbon.
  7. 14. pair a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond
  8. 16. compound a substance composed of exactly two different elements, which are substances that cannot be simplified further by chemical means.
  9. 17. bond a chemical bond between two chemical elements involving four bonding electrons instead of the usual two.
