chemical bonding Flashcards
atomic mass (2)
number of protons + neutrons in atom
symbol: A
atomic number (2)
number of protons (and therefore electrons) in an atom
symbol: Z
atom definition (1)
the smallest indivisible particle of matter
neil bohr model (1)
ohbij i mean orbit looking diagram w circles and all elecs
valence electrons (2)
electrons on the outermost shell of an atom, used for chemical bonding
aufbau diagrams (2)
square diagrams. NB arrow w energy level on side and S has 2 total elecs and P has 6 total elecs.
often has electron config with it
electron configuration (2)
arrangement of electrons around an atom.
can be written as e.c 1s2 2s2 2p6 etc..
ion (2)
atom with full valence shell, achieved by gaining or losing electrons
isotope (2)
atoms with same atomic number, but different atomic mass because of no. of neutrons
relative atomic mass (2)
weighted average of diff atomic masses in isotopes of same element
unit: a.m.u
formula for relative atomic mass (1)
mass isotope x % + mass isotope x %
lewis diagram (1)
the boring one that only shows valence
ionic bonding (2)
bond between metal and non metal where atoms give up and gain electrons to have complete valence shell
cation (1)
metal that loses electrons to form a positive ion
anion (1)
non-metal that gains electrons to form a negative ion
