Chemistry Flashcards
Covelant bonds
Electrostatic attraction
Metals and non metals
Always on the outside shell
Ionic Bonding
Between positively charged ions
Electrostatic attraction
Between metals and non-metals
Metallic bonding
Electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons
Positively charged electrons
Transition metals
Centre of the periodic table
Compounds are catalysts
Often coloured
More than 1 ion
Group 1 elements
Reactive and soft metals
Low density in water
Increasing reactivity because the outer electron is positioned further away from the nucleus
Noble gases
No electron on the outer shell
Referred to as Group 0
All gases
The halogens
Reactivity decreases as the outer electron is closer to the nucleus
Has 7 electrons in the outer shell
Properties of Metals
Shiny
Hard
Bendy
Conductors of electricity
Non-metals
Gases or liquids
Non-metals form a variety of different structures so have a wide range of chemical properties
The periodic table
Vertical columns are called groups
Horizontal columns are called periods
Structure of the atom
First shell: 2 electrons max.
Second shell:8 electrons max.
Third shell: 8 electrons max.
Amount of electrons on the outer shell determines the elements group
Amount of shells determine the period the element is in
