Can be the same or different atoms

• Molecules

• Compounds

• Atoms

• Elements

NGSS.MS-PS1-1

This can cause the atoms to be reactive and unstable

• Electrons

• Valence Electrons

• Protons

True/False: Valence electrons are found in the outermost shell or orbital

• true

• false

True/False: An atom is not stable when it has 8 electrons in the outermost orbital

• true

• false

This group of atoms meet the octet rule, meaning they have 8 valence electrons

• Metals

• Non-metals

• Noble gases

• Metalloids

true/false: electrons in the outermost shell gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell

• true

• false

These bonds form by sharing valence electrons.

• Covalent Bond

• Ionic Bond
