When atoms form chemical bonds
they react to form compounds.
Only electrons are involved.
|

Term
|
Definition
When electrons are removed
or added to create to compound.
|
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When metals and non-metals react,
metal lose positive electrons to
from positive ions, non-metals
lose gain electrons to form negative
bonds. Strongly attracted.
|
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When non-metal atoms react,
they have enough electrons to
their outer shell because they
share electrons with the reacting
molecule.

If you add a reactive metal to
a disolved compound, the more
reactive metal will replace the
less reacive metal.

The same but slightly different.
They're stong and bendy and
great conductors of heat and electricity.
|

Definition
Metals corrode when they're
exposed to air and water.
They lose their strength and hardness.
|
|
|
