4.  Group of atoms that are linked together by chemical bonds (can be from the SAME element)

5.  Strongest of the chemical bonds; two atoms SHARE electrons

6.  Bond made from two oppositely charged ions (positive & negative) attracting and bonding together

7.  Weakest of the chemical bonds; minerals with streak have this type of bond

9.  When atoms are bonded together in a repeating pattern

10.  Also called a native mineral; an element that meets the 5 criteria for a mineral and is also found on the periodic table  EX: gold, silver, copper, sulfur, diamond, and graphite
