Chapter 2 Atoms, Ions, Molecules Flashcards
What are the forms of matter?
- Solid ( bone)
- Liquid (blood)
- Gas ( Oxygen/ Carbon Dioxide)
Matter
Has mass, composed of atoms
Atom ( smallest particle, make up everyday objects)
Building blocks of matter
Name the subatomic particles?
- protons (+)
- neutrons (no charge)
- electrons (-)
Atomic mass unit (AMU)
Mass of an atom
Isotope
2 or more atoms of the same element have same # of protons but diff. # of neurons
Radioisotope
Unstable, excess # of neurons
Electron shell
Valence shell
- surround nucleus of shell
- outermost energy level
Octet rule
Elements gain or lose electrons to keep their outer shell ( valence electron) full
What is an inert element?
When the valence energy shell (outer shell) is full, they do not want to give, receive or share their electrons
Ions Ionic Bond (Opposites attract)
Compound
Covalent bond
Atoms with charge
Attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions
Composed of 2 or more elements
Sharing of electrons
Cation
Anions
Positive charge, Lose an electron
Negative charge, Gain an electron
Molecule (a lot of ????)
Molecular compound (combined)
2 or more atoms joined by a chemical bond
Composed of two or more different elements
Molecular formula
Structural formula (made of)
Isomers (same but different)
Chemical constituents of a molecule
Shows # & types of atoms, also their arrangement in a molecule
Molecules with same #, & kind of elements, arranged differently
Single Covalent Bond
Double Covalent Bond
Triple Covalent
One pair of electron shared between 2 atoms
Sharing of 2 pairs of electrons between 2 atoms
3 pairs of electrons shared between atoms
