Chapter 2 Flashcards
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass. Example a chair
3 forms
Solid, liquid and gas
Elements
Substance that cannot be broken down like an Atom
Each element
Consist of only one type of atom, carbon or oxygen.
Cells
Basic unit of life
96% of our body is made up of four elements
Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. (C, O,H &N)
Compound
Atoms of two or more elements, same or different, how together by covalent bonds.
Atoms
Smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element
Adams are made up of three particles
Proton +
Neutrons no charge
Electrons -
These three gave you a different compound
Protons & neutrons
Are in the nucleus
Electrons
Orbit around the nucleus
Positive and negative
Attract like a magnet
Overall charge
If all or even in there’s no extra charge like a negative or positive it will be a zero charge and will not react with anything
The number of electrons
Equals the number of protons in a neutral Atom, the net charge is zero
Number of neutrons
Equals number of protons
Atomic number
The number of protons
Mass number
Number of protons plus number of neutrons
Isotope
Formed by Changing the number of neutrons
Electrons❓
Orbit nucleus in shells
Innermost max is 2
Outmost max is 8
Outermost shell
The number of electrons in the outer most shell determines the atoms chemical properties.
