5.1 atoms Flashcards
Protons
Mass- 1 Charge +1
Neutrons
Mass- 1 Charge- 0
Electrons
Mass- 0 Charge -1
Isotope
The same element but with a different number of neutrons- they will react the same regardless the amount of neutrons.
What charges attract?
Postitive + Negative
What charges repel?
Positive + Positive or Negative + Negative
The relationship between coulombic attraction and amount of charge.
The greater the charge and shorter distance- the greater the attraction.
The relationship between coulombic attraction and distance.
The further apart, the weaker the charge. The closer, the stronger the charge.
Electronegativity
A chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons toward itself.
Explain why isotopes can be useful in scientific research.
Certain isotopes show radiation, which can be useful in multiple different fields of study.
Pick which atom has a stronger or weaker attraction for valence electrons and explain why.
You can tell which atom has a stronger or weaker attraction for valence electron, which help with chemical bonds.
