- A tabular arrangement of chemical elements organized by atomic number and chemical properties.
- Valence Electron
- An electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in chemical bond formation.
- Covalent Bond
- A chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
- Ionic Bond
- A chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Metallic Bond
- A chemical bond arising from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions.
- Hydrogen Bond
- A weak attraction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
