Chemistry Flashcards
Explain atomic number
Number of protons in the nucleus of each Atom of an element
explain ion charge
It’s an Electric charge that forms on an atom when it gains or looses ions
Explain metal
Solid except for mercury good conductors of heat
Splaine non-metals
Whatever didn’t fit in the definition of a metal
Explain metalloids
In the stairs of the periodic table, doesn’t fit in with rest of descriptions
Explain alkali metals
Highly reactive, far left side of table
Explain alkaline earth metals
Less reactive than alkali, on left side of table
Explain halogen
Highly reactive non metals, right side
Explain noble gases
Stable non metals, far right side
Explain Bohr model
Shows how many electrons are in each shell surrounding the nucleus
How do you get the Atom number for a bohr model
By using protons
How do you get ion Bohr model number
By using neutron number
How do you get a neutron
Atomic mass - atomic number
How do metals become stable
By loosing electrons
How do non metals become stable
By gaining electrons
