Across
- 6. A shorthand way of identifying a chemical compound consisting of the element symbols and subscripts that represent the number of atoms of each element.
- 8. A compound made from only two elements
- 11. The unequal distribution of electric charge in a covalent bond.
- 12. The principle that states that atoms generally are most stable when they have eight electrons in their valence energy level.
- 13. An electrostatic attraction that forms between atoms when they share or transfer valence electrons.
Down
- 1. A group of covalently bonded atoms that together have gained or lost electrons and act as a single ionized particle.
- 2. The smallest whole-number ratio of ions within an ionic compound.
- 3. A molecule made of two atoms.
- 4. A chemical bond formed when atoms transfer valence electrons.
- 5. A simpler model of a covalent bond
- 7. A positive or negative number showing the electric charge on an element when it forms a compound.
- 9. The attraction between metal atoms and their collectively shared valence electrons.
- 10. A chemical bond formed as a result of two atoms sharing valence electrons
