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
