Ion
Glass
Base
Acid
6
Why are valence electrons important?
The force that holds together the elements in a compound.
They determine how an atom will react.
Idk lol.
It attracts the force between two ions of opposite charge.

The change of one or more substances into other substances.
10
Define Solution.
A measure of how easily a mineral can be scratched.
A substance that produces hydroxide ions in water.
Another word for homogeneous mixture; they retain their original particles.
