Chemistry Flashcards
what is covalent bonding
sharing of electrons (non-metals bonding with other non-metals)
what is an element
pure substances made of only one type of atom.
how to determine atomic mass
atomic number (z) + neutrons
determine neutrons?
atomic mass (A) - atomic number (z)
group names on periodic table
group 1 = alkali metals group 2 = alkali earth metals between group 2&3 = transition metals group 17 = halogens group 18 = noble gases
properties of metals
Conduct heat Conduct electricity Malleable Ductile Most metals react with acid
properties of non-metals
Do not conduct heat Do not conduct electricity Dull Brittle Not ductile Do not react with acid
