Chapter 2 Flashcards
Sub-shell types
S, P, D, F
S sub-shell has
1 orbital that can hold 2 electrons
P sub-shell has
3 orbitals that can hold 6 electrons
D sub-shell has
5 orbitals that can hold up to 10 electrons
F sub-shell has
7 orbitals that can hold up to 14 electrons
The atomic number identifies
The number of protons & electrons
The atomic mass is the
Number of protons & neutrons in an atom (sum & is an integer)
The group number identifies the
Number of valence electrons
The period number identifies
The number of energy levels
What is matter?
Anything that has mass & takes up space & does not need to be visible
What is the basic building block of matter?
Atoms
Atoms can join to form
Molecules
An element
Contains only a single kind of atom
Compounds contain
2 or more kinds of atoms in a fixed ratio
Atoms are comprised of
Protons, neutrons & electrons
Protons are
Positively charged
The number of protons is also called the
Atomic number & determines the identity of the atom
Neutrons are
Neutral
Electrons are
Negatively charged
Ions are
Atoms or a group of atoms bonded together that have a net electrical charge; charge is obtained by adding or subtracting electrons
Molecules are a
Group of atoms chemically bonded together into a discrete unit by covalent bonds & are electrically NEUTRAL
Ionic compounds contain
Positively charged ions & negatively charged ions
Ionic compounds are
Not molecules
Physical change occurs
Without changing the chemical makeup of the substance undergoing the changes (ex;melting)
