Elements
1) Smallest unit of matter that maintains its unique properties.
Ions
• Atoms or Subunits of Ionic Compounds which have gained or lost extra electrons
through chemical reactions. They carry positive or negative charges.
o Ions – single atoms which have extra or less electrons (atoms with a plus or minus)
o Polyatomic Ions – multiple atoms as a singular unit which have extra or less
electrons than in atomic state (subunits of ionic compounds with a plus or minus)

DEFININTIONS:
o Elements – smallest unit of matter that maintains its unique properties
o Atoms – monatomic (single) version of Elements
o Ionic compounds – chemical compound comprised of ions held together by electrostatic
forces (electric charges at rest)
o Covalent compounds – two or more nonmetal atoms (or nonmetal + metalloid atom)
bonded by sharing valence electrons

Chem-is-try 4
C.3.1 Investigate the observable characteristics of elements, ionic, and covalent
compounds.
Directions for BLOOMS – Higher Order – CREATING:
Students will draw unique pictures of Nonpolar Covalent, Polar Covalent, and Ionic Bonding.
Electrons must be illustrated as well as an electron cloud or orbital area.
