Chemistry Flashcards
Group 1
Alkali metals
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons
Group 2
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 6
Chalcogens
Group 7
Halogens
Group 8
Noble Gases
Groups 3-12
Transition metals
Average mass of one isotope
Total mass of all atoms in an isotope/Total numbering atoms of that isotope
Relative Abundance
Number of atoms in an isotope/ total number of atoms *100
Relative mass
Relative abundance*average mass
Ionic Bonding
-when electrons are transferred from metal to non metal
Covalent Bonding
-takes place between 2 non metals which share electrons to form a bond
Orbitals
S:- 2 electrons
P:- 6 electrons
D:- 10 electrons
F:- 14 electrons
Metals vs. Nonmetals
Metals:- malleable, ductile, conductors, shiny, high melting or boiling points, high densities, low electronegativity
Nonmetals:- brittle, not ductile or malleable, dull, poor conductors, low densities, high electronegativity
Periodic trends in atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy
Atomic radius:- group: increases period: decreases
Electronegativity:- group:- decreases period: increases
Ionization energy:- group:- decreases period: increases
Chemical Equation
A shorthand expression that represents a chemical reaction
Chemical Reaction
A process where one or more substances are change into one or more new substances
Synthesis
2 or more substances are combined to form a compound
Decomposition
Opposite of synthesis:- breaking down to form simpler substances
Combustion
A substance combines with oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water
Single replacement
When one element takes the places of another. Metal replaces metal and nonmetal replaces nonmetal
Double replacement
The positive metal ion of one compound combines with a negative ion of the other compound and vice versa.
Diatomic elements
Hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, oxygen
Avogadro’s Constant
6.02 * 10^23
Number of particles
Moles* Avogadro’s constant
Molarity
of moles of dissolved substance/volume in L
** volume always in L
