  1. 3. compound is something consisting of precisely two elements.
  2. 5. a molecule, made from joining together many small molecules called monomers.
  3. 7. pair an electron pair in the outermost shell of an atom that is not shared or bonded to another atom.
  4. 10. ion an ion that has two or more covalently bonded atoms that act as a single ion.
  5. 13. formula a notation used by scientists to show the number and type of atoms present in a molecule, using the atomic symbols and numerical subscripts
  6. 14. compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.
  7. 15. bond electrons are shared unequally, the more electronegative atom's pull is stronger
  8. 16. compound made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons.

  6. 9. element is a molecule of an element consisting of two atoms.
  7. 11. Structure a diagram that shows the covalent bonds and lone electron pairs in a molecule.
  8. 12. bond a chemical bond in which one pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.
  9. 17. Rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
  10. 18. theory is a model used to predict the geometry of molecules based on minimizing the electrostatic repulsion of a molecule's valence electrons around a central atom.
