atoms Flashcards
what is atoms
smallest particles of an element
what is a atom consisting of
-nucleus
-nucleus contains electron and protons
what are no. of protons called
protons/atomic number
mass of atoms
-contributed by protons and neutrons
- no of protons + no of neutrons
- protons= electrons
periodic table
-protons number
-atomic symbol
- name
- atomic mass
relative mass
protons: +1
neutrons: 1
electrons: 1/1840
relative charge
protons: +1
neutrons: 0
electrons: -1
ions
when an atoms gains or loses one or more ELECTRONS
ions (plus or minus)
-positive ion is form when an atom LOSES one or more electrons
- negative ion is form when an atom gains one or more electrons
molecules
-consists of two or more atoms chemically joined tgt
- atoms of same element have same colour, size and shape
molecules of an element/compound
-consists of 2 or more atoms of the SAME type chemically join tgt (element)
-consist of 2 or more atoms of DIFF types chemically joined tgt (compound)
writing chemical formula
-type of element in the compound
-number of atoms for each element in the compound
compound
diff types of element join tgtj
negative ION
positive ION
non metal
metal
isotepes
same amt of proton, but diff amt of neutron
