Chapter2 Flashcards
Atoms
Smallest functional unit of matter that form all chemical substances, can’t be broken down further.
3 subatomic particles
Protons
Electrons
Neutrons.
Protons
Positively charged, found in nucleus same #as electrons
Neutrons
Neutral found in nucleus,#can vary
Electrons
Negatively charged, found in orbitals, same # as protons.
S orbitals
Are spherical
P orbitals
Propeller/dumbbell shaped
How many electron can each orbital hold.
2 electron, an atom with more than 2 electron have more than 1 orbital
1st Shell
1 spherical orbital, holds 2 electron
2nd shell
1 spherical orbitan & 3 propeller / dumbbell shaped orbitals, holds 4 pairs of electrons.
Protons
Of protons distinguishes one element from another
Periodic table
Organizes elements by atomic #
Atomic Mass
Protons+ #nutrons
Dalton (d)
Unit of measurement for atomic mass
Isotopes
Multiple forms of an element that differ in The # of neutrons.
Molecule
2/ more atoms bonded together
Molecular formula
Contains chemical symbols of elements found in a molecule
Compound
Molecule composed of 2/more atoms/elements
3 types of bonds
Covalent
Hydrogen
Ionic
2 covalent bonds
Polar covalent
Non polar covalent
Covalent bonds
Atoms share a pair of electrons
Covalent bond occurs
Between atoms whose outer electron Shells are not full
Covalent bonds can share
1 pair of electron- single bond h-f
2 pairs of electron- double bond 0=0
3 pairs of electron- triple bond
Octet Rule
Atoms are staple when their outer shell is full
Polar covalent bonds.
Electrons are not equally shared
Nonpolar covalent bonds.
Equal sharing of electron
Hydrogen bond.
Hydrogen atom from one polar molecule attracted to electronegative part of another molecule
How does hydrogen bonds represents
With a dashed/dotted lines.
Ionic bonds
An ion is an atom/molecule that was gained/ lost one/more electron
Cations
Net positive charge
Anions
Net negative charge
Chemical reactions
Occurs when 1/more substance are changed into other substances.
Hydrophilic substance
Water loving, are a polar substance
Hydrophobic substance
Water fearing, nonpoler substance
Amphipathic molecule.
Have polar & non polar regions.
Concentration
Amount of a solute dissolved in a unit volume of solution
Acids
Are molecules that release hydrogen ions in solution
Bases
Lower the h+ concentration
Ph
Measure of acidity
Ph is measured by
H+
Below ph 7
Acidic solutions
Ph 7
Natural
Above ph 7
Alkaline
Buffers
Help to Keep a constant ph range
