Atomic structure and function

Question 1

Electrons

Answer 1

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound). It forms a chemical bond with other atoms.

Question 2

protons

Answer 2

Protons are positvley subatomic particles located in the nucleus.
- The number of protons is the identity of the atom.

Question 3

Neutron

Answer 3

Neutrons
Neutrons are subatomic particles located in the nucleus.
- And adds mass and atomic stability to the atom.

Question 4

Electron cloud

Answer 4

An electron cloud is the location of the electrons.
- the order and placement of electrons in the electron cloud determines how the atom will react to other atoms and what types of bonds are can be formed.

Question 5

Nucleus

Answer 5

-The nucleus is the center of the atom where the protons and neutrons are located.
- contains almost all of the mass of the atom.

Question 6

Iconic bond

Answer 6

-An iconic bond are chemical bonds formed by transferring for electrons from one atom to another,

-forming an anion ( a negatively charged atom as electrons are gained) and a cation ( a positively charged atom as electrons are lost)

Question 7

Covalent bond

Answer 7

-A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons .

-one electron from each atom to form one bond .

Question 8

Polar bond

Answer 8

-A polar bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms unevenly share two or more electrons .to form one bond

Question 9

Non-polar bond

Answer 9

-A non- polar bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms evenly share two or more electrons .

• one electron from each atom to form one bond.

Question 10

Hydrogen bond

Answer 10

-A hydrogen bond is a weak bond
-between two molecules resulting from an attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.
