The “Fundamental Vocabulary Definitions” document establishes the core language of chemistry by outlining key atomic, bonding, and classification terms. It begins by explaining concepts such as ionization energy, which measures how difficult it is to remove an electron—higher when electrons are closer to the nucleus—and electronegativity, the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons, which determines whether a bond is polar or nonpolar. It distinguishes between directional covalent bonds, where electron density is shared toward specific atoms, and non-directional ionic bonds, where electrostatic attraction occurs between oppositely charged ions without spatial direction. The file also introduces the metallic “sea of electrons” model, where delocalized valence electrons move freely, explaining why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Additionally, it classifies elements into major groups: alkali and alkaline earth metals (very reactive and prone to losing electrons), transition metals (dense, conductive, and often forming colored compounds), metalloids (semiconductors), nonmetals (brittle and poor conductors), halogens (highly reactive nonmetals forming salts), and noble gases (chemically inert due to full valence shells). It concludes by distinguishing mixtures, compounds, and elements, emphasizing that mixtures are physically combined while compounds are chemically bonded in fixed ratios, and introducing Coulomb’s Law to describe the attraction between charged particles—an idea central to understanding bonding and atomic behavior
