Chemistry Flashcards
Molecule is
Two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
Covalent bonds are
Chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons
Isotopes
Groups of atoms that have the same number of protons hence are same element but different mass numbers hence different number of neutrons
Compound
Two or more chemical elements chemically bonded together
Organic compound
Molecules that contain carbon
Inorganic compound
Molecules that don’t contain carbon
Ions
Atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons hence are charged
Cations
Atom that has lost elections hence has a positive charge
Anions
Atom that has gained electrons hence has a negative charge
Ionic bond
Chemical bond between two ions of opposite charge
