What is an anion? 
Negatively charged ion.
What is a cation? 
Positively charged ion.
What does electrostatic force refer to? 
It is the force of attraction between oppositely charged particles and repulsion between like charges.
What is an ion? 
An atom or group of atoms with an electrical charge.
How do atoms become positively or negatively charged ions? 
Atoms become positively charged ions if they lose electrons and negatively charged if they gain electrons.
What is an ionic bond? 
It is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What are crystals? 
Solids made up of a regular repeated pattern of atoms, molecules, or ions.
What defines an ionic compound? 
A substance containing ions formed by the loss and gain of electrons between two or more elements.
What is a lattice structure? 
A regular grid-like repeating arrangement of particles such as atoms, molecules, or ions.
What are polyatomic ions? 
A group of atoms that have a positive or negative charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
What is an anode? 
The positive electrode.
What is an aqueous solution? 
A solution in which water is the solvent.
What is a cathode? 
The negative electrode.
What is a dot and cross diagram used for? 
To explain what happens when a bond is formed, using dots and crosses to represent the electrons of different atoms.
What is a double bond? 
The bond formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between the same two atoms.
What are electrostatic forces? 
Forces of attraction between oppositely charged particles and forces of repulsion between particles with the same charge.
What does the term molecular refer to? 
Substances that are made up of molecules.
What is a molecular formula? 
It shows the actual number of atoms of each element that combine to make a molecule of a substance.
What is a molecule? 
A group of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds.
What is the outer electron shell? 
The electron shell that contains electrons furthest away from the nucleus.
What is valency? 
The number of covalent bonds formed by an atom or the charge number of the ion formed by an atom.
What is a bond? 
A force that holds some atoms tightly together.
What is a compound? 
A substance that contains atoms of more than one element chemically joined together with bonds.
What is a covalent bond? 
The bond formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms.
What is a covalent, simple molecular structure? 
Two or more atoms covalently bonded together to form a distinct unit.
What is an element? 
A simple substance made up of only one type of atom.
What is an intermolecular force? 
A weak force of attraction between molecules.
What is a monomer? 
A small, simple molecule that can be joined in a chain to form a polymer.
What is poly(ethene)? 
A common polymer made of ethane monomers.
What is a polymer? 
A long-chain molecule made by joining many smaller molecules (monomers) together.
What are allotropes? 
Different structural forms of the same element.
What is a covalent, giant molecular structure? 
A three-dimensional lattice of carbon atoms linked by covalent bonds.
What is a delocalised electron? 
An electron that is free to move and can carry an electrical current.
What is fullerene? 
A simple molecule in which each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms.
What is graphene? 
An allotrope of carbon consisting of a sheet that is one atom thick.
What is a lubricant? 
A substance placed between two moving surfaces to reduce friction.
What does electrical conductivity refer to? 
Allowing electricity to pass through.
What is a lattice? 
An arrangement of many atoms or other particles that are bonded together in a fixed regular pattern.
What does malleable mean? 
A substance that can be hammered or rolled into shape without shattering.
What is metallic bonding? 
The type of bonding found in metals, characterized by positively charged ions in a 'sea' of negatively charged electrons.
