A

Positive
1 dalton
Determine element

16
Q

Neutrons?

A

Neutral
1 dalton
Determine isotope

17
Q

Electrons?

A

Negative
Weigh almost nothing
Determine chemical behavior

18
Q

Where is potential energy greater in an atom?

A

Farther from the nucleus

19
Q

Radioactive isotopes?

A

Nucleus decays spontaneously

Gives off particles and energy

20
Q

When are atoms unreactive?

A

They have a full valence shell

21
Q

What does chemical behavior of an atom depend on?

A

Number of electrons in the outermost shell

22
Q

Remember?(?)

A

Electrons in a shell have a characteristic energy level

23
Q

Orbitals?

A

Three-dimensional space with specific shapes (electron shells)

24
Q

When do chemical bonds form?

A

When atoms interact and complete their valence shells

25
Q

When do covalent bonds form?

A

Pairs of electrons are shared

26
Q

When is an ionic bond formed?

A

When electrons are transferred

27
Q

When is chemical equilibrium reached?

A

When forward and reverse reaction rates are equal

Concentration of reactants and products are equal

28
Q

Smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element?

A

Atom

29
Q

More electronegativity=

A

Stronger pull

30
Q

Remember!!!

A

In a chemical reaction, the reactants and products will never dis/appear

Atom in reactants are in products
