Chemical Bonding Flashcards
what is chemical bonding?
attraction between atoms involving electron transfer/sharing to form new compounds
what is a grouped ion?
more than one atom involved in the ion
what is the symbol for carbonate and its charge?
symbol = CO3
charge = 2-
what is the symbol for ammonium and its charge?
symbol = NH4
charge = 1+
what is the symbol and charge for hydroxide?
symbol = OH
charge = 1-
what is the symbol and charge for nitrate?

what is valency?
the number of electrons an atom needs to complete the outer shell
those electrons are either gained or lost
do non-metals gain or lose electrons?
gain
what is an ion
a charged particle (positive or negative)
how does the cross rule work?
are metals negatively or positively charged and why?
positively charged (cations)
they lose electrons
are non-metals negatively or positively charged and why?
negatibely charged (anions)
they gain electrons
in the centre of the atom are two sub-atomic particles
these particles are the …… and the …..
the ….. are positively charges
the ……have no charge and are …..
in the centre of the atom are two sub-atomic particles
these particles are the protons and the neutrons
the protons are positively charged
the neutrons have no charge and are neutral
the centre of an atom is ….. charged
the centre of an atom is positively charged
around the centre of the atom are negatively charges sub-atomic particles called …..
around the centre of the atom are negatively charges sub-atomic particles called electrons
the overall charge on an atom is ….
the number of …… and …… are equal
the overall charge on an atom is zero
the number of protons and electrons are equal
electrons are arranged in energy …. around the centre of the atom
the first energy …. is nearest to the centre and can take a maximum of …. electrons
the second and thur energy …. can take a maximum if …. electrons each
electrons are arranged in energy shells around the centre of the atom
the first energy shell is nearest to the centre and can take a maximum of 2 electrons
the second and thur energy shells can take a maximum if 8 electrons each
when atoms bond with other atoms, the number of electrons in their outermost energy shell ……
when atoms bond with other atoms, the number of electrons in their outermost energy shell changes
what are elements
substances that can’t be split into anything more simply by chemical means
what do all atoms in elements share?
the same atomic number
how are elements recognised in diagram?
the atoms have the same size or colour
what are compounds?
a combination of two or more elements in fixed proportions, joined together by strong bonds
does it matter if the compound is molecular, giant covalent or giant ionic?
no
what is a mixture?
the various components can be in any proportions
