Assessment 3 Flashcards
What is an isotope?
An atom of an element with a different # of neutrons. Occurs randomly
What is the atomic number?
The number of protons
Majority metals
Solid at room temp., high melting point, good conductors, malleable
What are atoms made of?
Particles. Protons, neutrons, electrons, energy
Ion
Electrically charged atom that gained or lost electrons
Left to right on periodic table
Increasing atomic mass
Top to bottom on periodic table
Elements into groups with similar physical and chemical properties
Non metals
Bad conductors, gas at room temp, low boiling point
Ionic bond
Positive ion (cation) and negative ion (anion) combine
Covalent bond
When atoms share electrons to become stable. Atoms have similar electron affinity
Diatomic molecule
Two atoms of the same element combined
Metallic bond
Bonding of all metal atoms. Valence es are not strongly bond
Ionic compounds
Solid at room temp, will shatter, good conductor, electrolyte, high melting point
Covalent compound
Liquid or gas, lower melting point, poor conductors
Valence electrons
Electrons in the outermost shell in atoms. Want to obey “octet rule”
