Cht 2: Chem Flashcards
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Ex. Solids. Liquids. Gas.
Element
Cannot be broken down further by a chem reaction
Ex. Na. Cl.
Compound
2+elements combined
Ex. NaCl
5 elements that make up 97% human body
Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus (CHiNOP)
Atoms
Smallest unit of matter.
Has a central nucleus surrounded by electron shells
Proton
+ Positive
In the nucleus
Atomic number
Neutron
Neutral (n)
In the nucleus
Electrons
Negative
In shells
Octet rule
Atomic number
Atomic number
Top number
Tells number of protons and electrons
Atomic mass
Bottom number.
Sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Protons - neutrons =mass
Octet rule
Te inner most shell hold up to 2 electrons. The remaining shells hold 8
Atom is stable when…
The outter shell is full
The chemical behavior (reactive?) depends on…
The valence shell (# e- on the outter shell)
Electrically neutral
Number of + protons = - electrons
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element (same number of protons) but with varying numbers of neutrons.
