Chapter 2 Flashcards
matter
anything that occupies space and has mass
energy
capacity to do work
kinetic vs potential
kinetic = energy of movement
potential = stored energy
chemical energy
type of potential energy
stored in chemical bonds
mechanical energy
involved in moving matter
ex: muscles moving body
electrical energy
movement of charged particles
radiant energy
moved in waves
is energy conversion always 100%?
NO
energy lost as heat
smallest unit of matter
atoms
elements are made if ___
atoms
molecules
2+ different elements chemically bonded
what represents number of protons
atomic number
atomic number represents
protons AND electrons
what represents the mass of 1 atom of an element
atomic mass
what does atomic mass represent
weighted average of all isotopes
how many electrons does first electron shell hold
2
how many electrons does 2+ electron shell hold
8
what do atoms want?
1.) to be electrically neutral
2.) to have full valence shell
ionic bonds
1 atom donates an electron to another to form 2 ions
covalent bonds
2+ atoms share electrons
polar
compounds that have 2 atoms with different electronegativies
nonpolar
compounds with 2 similar electronegative atoms
equal sharing of electrons
hydrogen bonds
forces of attraction
between electropositive and electronegative atoms
NOT a true bond
ex: between the partial charged atoms of two water molecules
synthesis
parts put together to form larger whole
decomposition
breakdown of molecule into smaller molecules
exchange
bonds are made and broken
synthesis is ALWAYS
anabolism
(build up)
decomposition is ALWAYS
catabolism (break down)
exchange is ALWAYS
redox reactions
