1.
Elements with low ionization energy tend to lose electrons to form cations
2.
Elements that have a high electronegativity; tend to gain electrons to form anions
3.
Minimum energy required to remove one valence electron from a neutral atom
4.
ability of an atom to gain or attract an electron
5.
forces that hold atoms together in a compound; also known as a chemical bound
6.
atom or molecule that has a charge due to the gain or loss of one or more electrons
7.
negatively charged on that is attracted to cations
8.
positively charged on that is attracted to anions
9.
electron that occupies the outermost shell of an atom's electron cloud: participates in chemical bonding
10.
shows only the valence electrons of that element represented by dots
11.
atoms tend to gain, lose, or covalently share electrons in order to achieve eight electrons in their outermost shell
12.
chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions
