Chemistry Flashcards
Atom
The smallest particle of an element
Subatomic particles
Electron, neutron, protons
Stable Octet
When an electron shell is full
Period
A row in the periodic table
Family
A column in the periodic table
Bohr diagram
Shows the arrangement of subatomic particles in atoms and Ions
Lewis diagrams
Shows chemical bonding by only showing the chemical symbol and the valence electrons
Ions
When an element loses or gains an electron
Ionic compound
Consist of a negative ion (metal) and a positive ion (non-metal)
Cation
positive ion
anion
negative ion
Ionic bonding
one or more electron transfer from metal to non-metal
Covalent Bonding
When two or more covalent compounds share electrons
Covalent compound
two or more non-metal atoms
ionic compound
Metal + non-metal
Ionic lewis diagram
don’t have bonding pairs
Ionic Bohr diagram
Don’t share electrons
covalent lewis diagram
has bonding pairs
covalent Bohr diagram
share electrons
multivalent element
more than 1 ion charge
multivalent ionic compound
a compound that consist of a multivalent element
polyatomic ion
made from several atoms joined together (nitrite NO2)
Chemical change
A change in arrangement and connections between atoms and ions
chemical reaction
several chemical change that occur at the same time
