4.1 Flashcards
Shell
An area around the nucleus where electrons exist
Period
A horizontal row on the periodic table
Family
A vertical column on the periodic table
Ionic bonding
when one or more electrons transfers from a metal to non-metal
Covalent bonding
Chemical bonding that results from a sharing of valence electrons
Smallest particle of an element that can exist by itself?
Atom
What is responsible for bonding?
Electrons
Atoms
Composed of protons and neutrons, and electrons
Bohr diagrams
Show the arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms and ions
Shows how many electrons are in each shell surrounding the nucleus
Ions
Atoms that have lost or gained electrons
Lewis diagrams
Show the arrangement of bonds within compounds by showing only an atoms’s valence electrons and the chemical symbol
Compound
A pure substance that is composed of 2 or more atoms combined in a specific way
Chemical changes
Changes in the ways the atoms and molecules in a pure substance are arranged
Subatomic particles
Particles that make up an atom
Relative mass of proton
1836 x more massive than an electron
Relative mass of neutron
1837 x bigger than an electron
