An anion is a negatively charged ion that has gained one or more electrons.

The number of valence electrons in the atoms involved determines how ionic bonds will form.

Protons are subatomic particles with a positive charge.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.

The general formula for a synthesis reaction is A + B → AB.

A cation is a positively charged ion that has lost one or more electrons.

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

A chemical reaction is a process that involves the rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance.

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.
