Chem Vocab

 Charged particles that can be positively or negatively charged. They form when atoms gain or lose electrons.

A type of chemical bond formed between two atoms when one atom transfers electrons to another. This transfer results in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, which are then attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. They are common in compounds like salts.

The variations of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They can have different atomic masses but exhibit similar chemical properties.
