atomic theory says
all living and non living things are made up of atoms
atoms are made of
sub atomic particles (protons, neutrons, & electrons)
what does the atomic number tell us
number of protons
common elements found in organisms are (6)
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur
the shell closest to the nucleus can hold ___ electrons
2
what does the atomic mass tell us
number of protons plus neutrons
what are covalent bonds
when atoms share electrons
stable atom means
outmost shell is full
what are ionic bonds
when atoms transfer electrons
what is a non-polar covalent bond in hydrogen molecule
electrons are superimposed on the bond to indicate that they are halfway between the two atoms, shared equally
what is a polar covalent bond in water molecules
electrons are not shared equally so partial charges exist on the O and H atoms
which is more electronegative
a. oxygen
b. hydrogen
a. oxygen
protons have a ____ charge
positive
electrons have a ____ charge
negative
neutrons have ____ charge
no
