Antoine Lavoisier
father of chemistry
Discovered this law.
Chemical Equation
shorthand expression of a chemical reaction. Reactants -> product
Coefficient
no. of molecules
Subscript
no. Of atoms
Molecular mass
total mass of all the atoms within a molecule or compound
Total mass reactant
is always equal to product
Law of definite proportion
A given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass
Law of conservation of mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
Law of multiple Proportions
A given compound always contains elements in a certain proportion by mass. (Constant composition)
Compound composition
Regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass
Little, big numbers
subscripts, coefficients
Ionic Bonding
forms ionic compounds, transfer of valence e-, Always formed between metal cations and non-metals anions, The oppositely charged ions stick like magnets
Metallic Bonding
Always formed between 2 metals (pure metals)
Covalent Bonding
forms molecules, sharing of valence e- Pairs of e- are shared between 2 non-metal atoms to acquire the electron configuration of a noble gas
Octet rule
says that atoms can become stable by having eight electrons in their outer energy level, as shown in the noble gas, Neon
