Atom
Smallest Chemical Unit of a Pure Substance
Atomic Number
Number of Protons in an atom
Atomic Weight
Average Weight of an all of an elements Isotopes
Avogadro’s Number
Number of Molecules in 1 mole of an given substance, 6.02x10 to the 23
cation
Positively Charged Ion
chemical bond
Attractive forces that link atoms together
chemical reaction
Occur when atoms collide with enough force to change their bonding partners
cohesion
Water Sticking to itself
compound
molecule with two or more elements
electron
subatomic particle that carries a negative charge
Covalent Bond
Sharing of electrons between atoms to fill valance shell
electron shell
Energy level, made up of orbitals
electronegativity
Attractive force that an atomic nucleus exerts on electrons
energy
Ability to do work or change
element
a pure substance containing one type of atom
heat of vaporization
heat required to induce a liquid to gas phase change
hydrophobic
Water Hating/Fearing
hydrogen bond
The attraction between the slight negative end of a molecule and slight positive end of a hydrogen end of another molecule
hydrocarbon
Chemical class that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms
hydrophilic
Water Loving
ion
Charged particle
isotope
Variations of a given element, isotopes have the same proton count but different neutron count
ionic attraction
atoms with such difference in electronegativities than one another, that one will lose and gain an electron respectively, filling out the valence shells
mass
measure of matter
mass number
Protons + neutrons
mole
Amount of a substance numerically equal to its molecular weight
molecular weight
Sum of atomic weights in a molecule
molecule
Stable association of atoms
neutron
subatomic particle carrying a charge of 0, or neutral
non-polar covalent bond
Relative even sharing of electrons
nucleus
Center of an atom
orbital
where the electron is located 90% of the time, each one holds 2 electrons
Reduction
Gaining of electrons
Oxidation
Lose of electrons
Periodic Table
The way elements are categorized
Polar Covalent Bond
Relative uneven sharing of electrons
Radioactive Decay
can transform the atom via ionizing radiation
products
things formed during chemical reaction
proton
subatomic particle with positive charge
Radioisotope
isotopes that give off energy in the form of alpha, beta, and delta radiation from the nuclues
Reactant
The things initially present before a chemical reaction occurs
Solute
The substance that is dissolved
Solution
A substance dissolved in liquid
Solvent
Liquid in which a substance is dissolved
Van Der Waals Forces
Attractions between nonpolar molecules that are close together
Valence Shell
Outermost shell of an atom
