Ch4 Flashcards
what group is halogens
group 17
diatomic
two atoms of same element
molecule definition
things formed by chemical bonding
why do chemical bonds form
to reduce potential energy of charged particles
why does bonding lower potential energy
valence shells get filled which makes atom not want to react anymore
Do more complicated molecules have lower potential energy or simpler ones
simpler ones have lower potential energy
lattice energy
amount of energy it takes to forms crystalline lattice
Ionic compound
ionic compound exchanges electrons between two elements that makes the element neutral
What does higher lattice energy mean
something is more exothermic and it means the chemical has higher boiling point
empirical formula
simplest whole number ratio of the atoms
molecular formula
exact number of each atom in molecule
structural formula
shows connectivity of atoms
formula mass
mass of atoms in the formula in (amu)
molar mass
mass or 1 mole or molecule in grams
which elements expand their octets
