Q

nearly all known elements have two or more stuctural variations called

A

isotopes

24
Q

is an average of the weights (mass number) of all the isotopes of an element taking into account their relative abundance in nature

A

atomic weight

25
Q

the heavier isotopes of many elements are unstable and their atoms decompose spontaneously into more stable forms this processs of atomic decay is called radioactivity, and isotopes that demonstate this behavior are called

A

radioisotopes

26
Q

when two or more different kinds of atoms bind they form molecules of a

A

compound

27
Q

are homogeneus mixtures of components that may be gases liquids or solids

A

solutions

28
Q

the substance present in the greatest amount is called

A

solvent

29
Q

substances present in smaller amounts are called

A

solutes

30
Q

solutions used in a college labratory or a hospital often describe in terms of the

A

percent

31
Q

still another way to express the concentration of a solution is in terms of its

A

molarity or moles per liter
M

32
Q

of any element or compound is equal to its atomic weight or molecular weight in grams

A

mole

33
Q

one mole of any substance alwyays contains exactly the same number of solute particles that is 6.02 x 10 to the (23rd)

A

Avogadros number

34
Q

emulsions are heterogenous mixtues which means that their composition is dissimilar in different areas of the mixture

A

colloids

35
Q

that is to chane reversibly from a fluid state to a more soid gel state jello or any gelatin product

A

sol-gel transformations

36
Q

heterogenous mixtures with large often visible solutes that tend to settle out
like sand and water
blood and plasma

A

suspensions

37
Q

when atoms combine with other atoms they are held together by

A

chemical bonds

38
Q

each electron shell represents a different

A

energy level

39
Q

refers to an atoms outermost energy level or that portions of it containg the electrons that are chemically reactive

A

valence shell

40
Q

except for shell 1, which is full when it has 2 elections, atoms tend to interact in such a way that they end up having 8 elections in their velance shell

A

octet rule or rule of eights

41
Q

however elections can be transferred from one atomt oanother and when this happens the precise balence of + and - charges is lost so that charged particles called ——– is formed

A

ions

42
Q

is a chemical bond between atoms formed by the transfer of one or more electons from one atom to the other

A

ionic bond

43
Q

net negative charge

A

aninon

44
Q

positive charge

A

cation

45
Q

large arrays of cations and anions held together by ionic bonds

A

crystals

46
Q

electron sharing prouces molecules in which the shared electiond occupy a single orbital common to both atoms which constitutes a

A

covalent bond

47
Q

the molecules formed are electically balanced and are called

A

nonpolar molecules

48
Q

it may also result in unequal electon pair sharing creating a

A

polar molecule

49
Q

in general small atoms with 6 or 7 valence shell elections such as oxygen nitrogen and chlorine are electron hungry and attract electons very stongly a capability called

A

electronegativety

50
Q

most atoms with only one or two valence shell electrons tend to be

A

electropostivie

51
Q

because water has two poles of charge it is a polar molecule or

A
