Ch. 2 Chemistry Flashcards
branch of science that studies matter, its composition, its properties, and how matter reacts with other matter
chemistry
anything that has mass and volume
matter
smallest part of an element that retains the properties of that element
atom
composed of protons, neutrons, electrons
atoms
group of like atoms combined together that cannot be separated into simpler.
element
a substance that contains 2 or more different elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion
compound
forces that hold the atoms together in a compound or molecule form
chemical bonds

when the number of electrons and protons are the same
neutral
the atom´s most outermost energy level full of electrons
stable
number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
atomic number
the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
atomic mass number
tells how many energy levels an atom has
period number
tells how many electrons are in the outer shell of an atom (valence electrons)
roman numeral
atoms of an element with different number of neutrons in its nucleus
isotope
