____ de un atomo es aproximadamente igual al numero deprotones y neutrones en el nucleo
Atomic weight
____ de un atomo es igual al numero de protones en el nucleo
Atomic number Z
Substance that cannot be decompesed into simpler substances during ordinary chemical reactions
Element
Atomos de un elemento que pueden tener diferentes atomic weight
Isotopes
difieren solo en el numero de neutrones
A combination of elements
Compound
The smallest subdivision of an element of an element or compound that can exist in natural state
Molecule
The smallest subdivision of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction
Atom
Halogens and Noble gas are
Nonmetals
The ___ have poor electrical conductors and have little or no metallic luster.
Nonmetals
Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Lanthanides, Actinides are
Metals
____ have low electron affinities, are reducing agents, form positive ions, and have positive oxidation numbers, high electrical conductivity, luster, ductility and maleability.
Metals
Negative charged ions are known as
Anions
Positively charged ions are known as
cations
Anios lose electrons at the anode during elctrochemical reactions. Anions must lose electros to become neutral. Meanwhile, Cations gain electrons at the cathode in electrochemical reactions. Cations hani electrons to become neutral (T o F)
True
Al que le quitan el electron que termina siendo + es el cation
Al que le dan el electron que termina siendo - es el anion. Pq al inicio ambos son neutrales.
The charge on an anion is equal to the numer of electros taken from a neighboring atom. This charge is known as
Valence = numero de electrones que debe ser ganado for charge neutrality.
Type of bonding, in which electrostatic attraction is predominant is known as_____. One or more electrons are transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another.
Ionic Bonding
Diatomic - Common gases
H2, O2, N2, Cl2
Type of bonding in which sharing of electrons is the predominant characteristic, is known _____. Are typically formed in organic compounds.
Covalent Bonding
Both atoms forming a covalent bond of the same element share equally the electrons
Nonpolar covalent bond
Atoms that are not both the same element do not share the electrons equally
Polar covalent bond
