Document Summary

Scientific method- using observations to make conclusions (assumptions vs inference) Scientific theory vs. scientific law- theory cannot be proven but law can be proven. Matter- anything that takes up space and has mass. Elements- any substance that cannot be broken down further into simpler substances. Bonding (which you should be able to identify) Covalent bonds: bonds in which electrons are shared between atoms. (bond between two non-metals) H2o) electrons in atoms are shared unequally and results in a slightly negatively charged atom and a slightly positively charged atom. Ch4) a bond in which electrons are shared equally, and the molecules" charges are neutral. Nacl) a bond in which an electron is transferred from one atom to another resulting in positively and negatively charged ions. In the case of sodium chloride, sodium has 1 electron while chlorine has 7. In ionic bonding, the electron from the sodium is forced to go to the chloride therefore balancing the number of electrons.
