    What properties do metals have?

    Good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and shiny.

    Why do metals often have high melting points?

    Strong metallic bonds hold the atoms tightly together.

    What pattern exists in how many electrons atoms share in covalent bonds?

    Atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell, usually 8 electrons.

    What are dispersion forces?

    Weak attractions caused by temporary electron movement in molecules.

    How can you identify hydrogen bonding in a molecule?

    Occurs when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

    How are polyatomic ions similar?

    They are groups of atoms bonded together that carry an overall charge.

    How do polyatomic ions differ from each other?

    They differ in the number and type of atoms and their overall charge.

    How do you write and determine chemical formulas?

    Show types and numbers of atoms using element symbols and subscripts.

    What is the difference between ionic and molecular compounds?

    Ionic compounds form by electron transfer; molecular compounds form by electron sharing.

    What is the difference between ionic solids and metallic solids?

    Ionic solids have a crystal lattice of ions; metallic solids have freely moving electrons.
