Solute {Ans: the substance that is dissolved}Transition Metals {Ans: Groups 3-12, 1-2 electrons in the outer energy level, less reactive than alkali-earth metals, shiny, good conductor of thermal energy and electrical current, high density; regulated due to their toxic impact on the environment.}bond dipole {Ans: result of unequal charge distribution in a bond}Noble Gases {Ans: very unreactive; emphasizes an important chemical property: elements with their s and p outer orbitals filled are chemically unreactive}metal bonding/electron sea theory {Ans: a theory that states that the electrons in a metallic crystal move freely around the positively charged nuclei; 3-dimensional lattice high degree of electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity is due to immediate availability of electrons for transferring energy}polynuclear aromatics (PNAs) or polynuclear or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) {Ans: aromatic fused-ring structures}
