Across
- 1. positively charged ions
- 2. occurs between metals
- 3. negatively charged ions
- 6. used to represent the ratio of ions in a group of ionically bonded atoms
- 8. the sharing of three pairs of electrons by two atoms
- 10. tells the identity and number of atoms of each element in the compound
- 13. can become stable by either gaining one electron or losing its one valence electron
- 15. Why do atoms form chemical bonds?
- 18. Covalent bonds form between these type of elements
- 19. positively and negatively charged atoms
Down
- 1. the attraction between two atoms that share valence electrons
- 4. formed when a metal and nonmetal form an ionic compound
- 5. determines how atoms bond to other atoms and how many electrons an atom needs to share or transfer in order to be stable
- 7. exist when a pair of atoms share more than one pair of electrons
- 9. has a full first energy level
- 11. an electrostatic attraction between atoms resulting from the sharing or exchanging of valence electrons
- 12. What chemical bonds store
- 14. Atoms are most stable when they have this many electrons in their outermost or valence energy level
- 16. of the same element
- 17. have significantly different properties than the elements they contain
