TERM 1
Anion
DEFINITION 1
A negatively charged ion.
TERM 2
Bond
DEFINITION 2
That which holds together atoms in molecules and ions in
lattices.
TERM 3
Cation
DEFINITION 3
A positively charge ion.
TERM 4
Coulomb's Law
DEFINITION 4
A mathematical formula whose consequence is that

Anion

A negatively charged ion.

TERM 2

Bond

DEFINITION 2

That which holds together atoms in molecules and ions in

lattices.

TERM 3

Cation

DEFINITION 3

A positively charge ion.

TERM 4

Coulomb's Law

DEFINITION 4

A mathematical formula whose consequence is that

negatively and positively charged particles attract each other

and similarly charged species repel each other.

TERM 5

Covalent Bond

DEFINITION 5

A bond that results from a sharing of electrons between

nuclei.

Ion

A charged species created by the gain or loss of an electron

from an atom or neutral molecule.

TERM 7

Ionic Bond

DEFINITION 7

A bond that results from electrostatic attraction between

oppositely charged ions. The cation is positively charged,

while the anion is negatively charged.

TERM 8

Lattice

DEFINITION 8

A regularly repeating three-dimensional array of atoms,

molecules, or ions.

TERM 9

Molecular Orbital

DEFINITION 9

A combination of atomic orbitals in molecular orbital theory

that provides an orbital description of atoms

TERM 10

Molecular Orbital Theory

DEFINITION 10

A description of bonding that combines atomic orbitals from

each bonded atom to produce a set of molecular orbitals.
