Lewis Dot Structure: A diagram to represent the valence electrons of an atom, written as the element symbol surrounded by dots that represent the valence electrons.Ionic Compound: A compound formed by ions.Ionic Bond: Bond formed between oppositely charged ions because of electrostatic forces of attraction.Ion: An atom that has acquired an electrical charge by either gaining or losing electrons.Electronegativity: A measure of the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.Dipole: The uneven distribution of electrical charge across a polar molecule.Covalent Bond: A chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.Compound: A substance formed by the chemical combination of elements in defined proportions.Cation: An ion that has a positive charge.Atoms can exist alone or in combinations with other atoms forming molecules. Atom: The smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of the element.Anion: An ion that has a negative charge.
