Chemistry Flashcards
Molecule
1.A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction
Ion
1.An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons
Strong Force
h
Chemistry
1.The branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances
Valence Electrons
electrons on teh outer shell that show the bondings
Orbitals
1.Each of the actual or potential patterns of electron density that may be formed in an atom or molecule by one or more electrons, and that can be represented as a wave function
Electron Cloud

Protons
A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron.
Electons
1.A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
Neutrons
1.A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen
Palsma
3.An ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions resulting in more or less no overall electric charge, typically at low pressures (as in the upper atmosphere and in fluorescent lamps) or at very high temperatures (as in stars and nuclear fusion reactors)
Liquid
1.Having a consistency like that of water or oil, i.e., flowing freely but of constant volume
Gas
2.A substance of this type that cannot be liquefied by the application of pressure alone
Solid
Firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid
Kinetic Theory
1.The body of theory that explains the physical properties of matter in terms of the motions of its constituent particles
