Q

where electrons move around?

A

nucleus

17
Q

nucleus

A

99.97% of an atoms mass, but only ten trillionth of its volume

18
Q

region where electrons are most likely to be found can be represented by

A

electron cloud

19
Q

number of protons and electron in each atom

A

atomic number

20
Q

what two charges have equal mass

A

protons and neutrons

21
Q

have very little mass

A

electron

22
Q

how to compute the mass number of an element

A

add the number of protons and and neutrons

eg. the mass number for carbon is 12 bcoz it has 6 proton and 6 neutrons

23
Q

the energy levels often drawn as concentric rings around the nucleus called?

A

electron shell

24
Q

interaction between atoms to form molecules by either sharing or transferring their outermost electrons

A

chemical bonds

25
Q

there is a maximum number of electrons that each shell can hold.

A

outer shells do not contain electrons until the inner shells have reached their maximum

26
Q

what do you call the shell closest to the nucleus

A

innermost shell

27
Q

the innermost shell can hold a maximum of how many electrons?

A

2 electrons

28
Q

the remaining shell can hold electrons is the maximum number of?

A

8 electrons

29
Q

what do you call the outermost shell?

A

valence shell

30
Q

if an atom’s valence shell is not at its maximum, it will form bonds with other atoms to achieve a full valence shell called?

A

octet rule

31
Q

the tendency of atoms to combine with other atoms until each has 8 electrons in its valence shell

A

octet rule

32
Q

the ways the octet rule can be achieved?

A
  1. transferring electrons between atoms

2. sharing electrons between atoms

33
Q

the ability of the atoms nucleus to pull electrons toward it

A

electronegativity

34
Q

the ability to do work

A

energy

35
Q

when energy is actually doing work

A

kinetic energy

36
Q

when the energy is stored or inactive

A

potential energy
