Term
What are two types of bonding? Explain the process of each type. Give examples.
Definition
The two types of bonding are Ionic and Covalent. Ionic bond happens when the differently charged atoms attract and create an atomic bond. An example is Lithium Floride (LiF). A Covalent bond is the sharing of valance electrons, two or more valance electrons shared rather than a basic electron transfer. An example is Hydrogen (H2).

Definition

 families (columns) are visible">elements that have similar physical and chemical properties. Every group has the same number of valence electrons

Term
Trends of the alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, halogens, semiconductors/metalloids, and noble gases
Definition

Alkali metals form salts and many other compounds. These elements are less dense than other metals, form ions with a +1 charge, and have the largest atom sizes of elements in their periods. They are highly reactive.

Alkali Earth metals form many compounds. They have ions with a +2 charge. Their atoms are smaller than those of the alkali metals.

Transition metal elements are very hard, with high melting points and boiling points. The transition metals are good electrical conductors and are very malleable. They form positively charged ions.

Halogen-elements in bleaches, disinfectants, and salts. These nonmetals form ions with a -1 charge. The physical properties of the halogens vary. The halogens are highly reactive.

Metalloids-Some elements have some, but not all of the properties of the metals

Noble gases-These elements are used to make lighted signs, refrigerants, and lasers. The noble gases are not reactive. This is because they have little tendency to gain or lose electrons.

Term
Why do atoms have no electric charge? Why do ions have a charge?
Definition
Because there is a negative and positive charge canceling it out. Ions have a charge because there is an odd amount of protons and neutrons so thy don't cancel eahcother out

Why is a mixture different from a compound?
Definition
compounds are formed when the atoms physically attach together, a mixture is just 2 things mixed together. Mixtures can be separated easily

Why do we have day and night on Earth? Why do we have seasons?
Definition

We have day and night on Earth because of Earth's rotation on it's axis, while one part of the Earth has daylight from the sun's rays one side has night that is facing away from the sun and towards the moon.

We have seasons because of the tilt on the Earth's axis. Because the Earth is tilted there are 2 different hemispheres to recieve different amount of sunlight.

Aristole proposed a theory where the planets relvove around the Earth, the Earth was the center of the universe which was called Geocentric. He and other people thought that because religion was a big factor in thinking that.

Term
What are Newton's 3 laws of motion?
Definition

       First law- An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net force. An example is when a car  bumps into a bridge. The people are in motion until they hit the bridge which is the net force.      Second law- When a force is applied to an object the object accelerates in the direction of the force. An example is when someone kicks at ball. The person is the force that is applied to the object which is the ball and the ball accelerates in the direction where is kick came from. 

Third law- With every action there is equal or opposite reaction. An example is letting the air out in a balloon because the action is the air rushing out. The reaction is the balloon going up.
