Chemistry Flashcards
how do you find the # of neutrons?
mass # - atomic #
how do you find the number of protons?
atomic number
how do you write standard atomic notation?
atomic mass
chemical symbol
atomic number
how many elements are there and how many occur in nature?
118 elements
90 occur in nature
columns of elements share what things?
properties
valence electrons numbers:
2, 8, 8, 18
where are the protons, neutrons, and electrons located?
protons: nucleus
neutrons: nucleus
electrons: outer orbit (valence electrons)
do some BR diagrams
neutrons on top, protons on bottom
lewis dot diagrams
last shell of electrons only
how do you recognize that it’s a chemical change?
- new substance is produced
- a new odour/taste and/or colour is produced
- heat or light is produced
- bubbles of gas are formed
- a precipitate (insoluble solid) is formed
what is a compound?
2 or more elements combined chemically to form one compound.
what are ionic compounds?
made up of metal (negative ions) and non-metal (positive ions)
practice lewis diagram to ionic bond
:)
formula for chemical formulas and composition of compounds:
metal named first then non-metal –> ide
ex. sodium chloride –> NACL
writing formulas with multivalent metals:
ex. Iron (II) oxide –> FEO
naming multivalent metals:
ex. Ni2O –> Ni (I) oxide
practice polyatomic ions:
don’t end in “ide”
