Glossary
bond – A strong force that joins atoms or ions together in
molecules and giant lattices.
compound ion – An ion made up of a group of atoms,
rather than one single atom.
ionic bond – The electrostatic force of attraction between
oppositely charged ions.
ionic compound – A compound made up of ions.
ionic lattice – A giant 3D structure of closely packed,
oppositely-charged ions.
negative ion – An atom or group of atoms that has gained
electrons and so has a negative charge.
noble gas – An element that has a full outer electron shell
and so is very stable and unreactive.
positive ion – An atom or group of atoms that has lost
electrons and so has a positive charge.
