    What defines a compound?

    Consists of two or more elements chemically bonded in a fixed ratio.

    What is a mixture?

    An impure substance that contains two or more substances that can be separated by physical means.

    How do elements differ from compounds?

    Elements contain only one type of atom, while compounds consist of multiple types.

    What is the atomic number?

    Indicates the number of protons in an atom.

    What are valence electrons?

    Electrons in the last occupied shell of an atom.

    How does the group number relate to valence electrons?

    The group number equals the number of valence electrons for main groups.

    What is ionic bonding?

    Involves the transfer of electrons between metallic and non-metallic ions.

    What happens to a metal during ionic bonding?

    It loses valence electrons to form a positively charged cation.

    What is a cation?

    A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.

    What is covalent bonding?

    Involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.

    How do noble gases behave chemically?

    They are non-reactive due to having a full outer shell of electrons.

    What is the significance of the period number?

    Indicates the number of occupied electron shells in an atom.

    What is an anion?

    A negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons.

    What distinguishes metals from non-metals in the periodic table?

    Metals are typically found in groups 1 and 2, while non-metals are in other groups.

    What is the relative atomic mass?

    The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

    What defines a compound?

    Consists of two or more elements chemically bonded in a fixed ratio.

    What is a mixture?

    Contains two or more substances that can be separated by physical means.

    How does an element differ from a compound?

    An element contains only one type of atom, while a compound contains multiple types.

    What is the atomic number?

    Indicates the number of protons in an atom.

    What are valence electrons?

    Electrons in the last occupied shell of an atom.

    What happens to noble gases in terms of reactivity?

    They do not form compounds due to having a full outer shell of electrons.

    How do group numbers relate to valence electrons?

    The group number equals the number of valence electrons for main groups.

    What is ionic bonding?

    The attraction between oppositely charged ions formed by electron transfer.

    What distinguishes cations from anions?

    Cations are positive ions formed by losing electrons; anions are negative ions formed by gaining electrons.

    What is covalent bonding?

    Attraction between shared electrons and protons in atomic nuclei.

    What happens to a metal during ionic bonding?

    It loses valence electrons to form a positive ion (cation).

    What is a cation?

    A positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons.

    How do protons, neutrons, and electrons differ in charge?

    Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negative.

    What is the relative atomic mass?

    The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
