|---|---|
 Certain Properties of Crystal Lattice | brittle solid, high melting and boiling points, high conductivity, and electrically neutral. |
| Chemical Bonding | the joining of atoms to form new substances. |
| Valence Electron | an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom's chemical properties. |
| Covalent Bond | a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. |
| Molecule | the smallest unit of a substance that keeps all of the physical and chemical properties of that substance. |
| Diatomic Molecules | molecules made up of two atoms |
| Metallic Bond | a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons in the metal. |
| Properties of Metals | metallic bond is what gives metal their articular properties. These properties include electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility. |
| Full Outermost Energy Level | Atoms of the Noble Gases (Group 18) don't usually forms chemical bonds.Having 8 valence electrons is a special condition. The outermost energy level of an atom is considered to be full if the energy level contains 8 electrons. |
| Octet Rule | states that when forming a chemical bond, atoms tend to be stable by having a full outer energy level. |
