chemistry- atomic theory Flashcards
Matter has
mass and volume
Atoms are made up of
sub atomic particles
neutrons 1 Au
protons almost 1 Au
electrons 1/1837 Au
Define: Compound
a pure substance made up of two or more elements
Isotopes are
a form of element with a different number of neutrons than protons
number of neutrons =
atomic mass - atomic number
Ions are formed when
atoms gain or lose electrons
want a full or empty valence shell
negative ions gained electrons
positive ions lost electrons
Number of electrons is:
atomic number - ion charge
Compound vs molecule
compound is two or more elements bonded together and molecule is two or more atoms bonded together
Covalent bonds are
non metals that share electrons
Ammonia formula
Methane formula
NH3
CH4
Diatomic
Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen and all halogens (Fluorine Chlorine Bromine Iodide
Most reactive metals are located where on the periodic table?

What does Atomic Number tell you
the amount of protons found in that element
if it is uncharged then it tells you the number of electrons in that element
What does Atomic Mass tell you
average of naturally occurring isotopes in an element
p + n
