Chem test 9th grade Flashcards
What is atomic mass
It is how many grams in a mole
How much is one mole
a collection of 6.02 x 10^23 things
Is a mole a molecule
no
Who discovered moles
Avogadro
what is a molecule
It is a combo of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
What do subscripts tell you
how many of each atom there are in one molecule
how do you go from number of particles to number of moles
divide by avogadros number
What is avogadros number
6.02 x 10^23
how do you go from number of moles to mass
multiply by molar mass
how do you go from mass to number of moles
divide by molar mass
how do you go from number of moles to number of particles
multiply by avogadros number
moles to litres
do moles x 22.4
litres to moles
litres / 22.4
1 mole of gas =
22.4 litres
molar mass number =
atomic mass number
to balance equations, you must
add coefficients to make all elements equal on either side
what are ions
atoms with a positive or negative charge due to the loss/gain of electrons
what is an covalent bond
elements that share electrons
What is an ionic bond
when elements lose/gain an electron
What is electronegativity
how strong an atom is (can it steal your electrons) The measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons to itself
What is the strongest and weakest electronegativity
4 is strongest, 1 is weakest
Why do covalent bonds occur
Because the two elements are too similar in electronegativity and therefore can’t steal so therefore share
what is relative atomic mass?
the average atomic mass of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a given element
How is atomic mass measured
in Amu which is 1/12 the mass of carbon 12
