Compound — definition?
Substance formed by chemical element combination.
Atoms — role?
Basic units of elements, involved in bonding.
Ionic bonding — mechanism?
Transfer of electrons creating oppositely charged ions.
Group 1 reactions — common feature?
Form +1 ions, react with non-metals.
Covalent structures — example?
Molecules like H₂O or giant structures like diamond.
Ions — formation?
Formed by gaining or losing electrons.
Electron transfer — effect?
Creates ions with noble gas electron configs.
Group 7 — reactivity trend?
Reactivity decreases down the group.
Ionic vs covalent — difference?
Ionic involves transfer, covalent involves sharing electrons.
Giant ionic lattice — structure?
3D array of ions held by electrostatic forces.
