You are NOT expected to know anything about electron dot diagrams.

Here's what you need to know.....


 * 1) What is chemical bonding?
 * 2) What is a chemical bond?
 * 3) What are all the different things that can happen to electrons when bonds are formed?
 * 4) How can you determine the number of electrons in an atom?
 * 5) Which electrons are involved in bonding?
 * 6) What do elements within a period have the same number of?
 * 7) How can you determine the number of valence electrons in an atom?
 * 8) How can you determine whether or not an atom will form bonds?
 * 9) How many electrons can the first three energy levels hold?
 * 10) Why is it uncommon for nobel gases to form chemical bonds?
 * 11) How can atoms with fewer than 8 valence electrons fill their outermost energy level? Use an atom from group 16 to explain.
 * 12) Describe an ionic bond.
 * 13) How are ions formed?
 * 14) Which type of element tends to lose electrons?
 * 15) Which type of element tends to gain electrons?
 * 16) Which types of elements tend to form ionic bonds?
 * 17) List the properties of ionic compounds.
 * 18) Describe how energy is involved when electrons are gained or lost from atoms.
 * 19) Describe the structure of ionic compounds.
 * 20) What is a covalent bond?
 * 21) What types of elements tend to form covalent bonds?
 * 22) What do we call the compound formed from covalent bonds?
 * 23) What is the smallest particle into which covalent bonds can be divided?
 * 24) What is a diatomic element?
 * 25) List some properties of covalent compounds.
 * 26) Describe a metallic bond. What allows metals to bond?
 * 27) What allows valence electrons in metals to move throughout a metal?
 * 28) List and describe the properties of metals.
 * 29) Why doesn't a piece of metal break when it is bent?
 * 30) Be able to draw a Bohr diagram.
 * 31) Be able to predict what type of bond an atom will form.
 * 32) Be able to determine how an atom will empty or fill its outer most energy level. (For example, will it gain, lose or share electrons)
 * 33) Be able to determine the charge that an ion will have.
 * 34) Compare the three types of bonds bases on what happens to the valence electrons in the atoms.
