1.
atoms tend to form bonds so that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell
2.
an electrostatic attraction that holds oppositely charged ions together
3.
an orderly repeating three dimensional pattern of many ions, atoms, or molecules
4.
the electrostatic attraction between the free moving valence electrons and the positively charged metal cations
5.
when nonmetals share some of all of their valence electrons
6.
a neutral group of atoms held together by one or more covalent bonds
7.
the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond
8.
a bond in which electrons are shared but not shared equally between the atoms
9.
a bond in which electrons are shared equally
10.
bonding pairs of electrons and lone pairs of valence electrons repel each other and push each other as far away as possible to minimize the electrostatic repulsions between them
