Exam 1 Flashcards
Atoms
smallest structure of a chemical element
Protons
mass of 1 atomic unit
positive charge
Neutron
mass of 1 atomic unit
neutral charge
Electron
mass inconsequential
negative charge
Atomic number
number of protons in that atom
Atomic weight
number of protons and neutrons in that atom
Periodic table group
column
atoms have similar properties
Periodic table period
row
atoms have different properties
Isotope
same # of protons
different # of neutrons
different atomic weight
Ion
same # of protons
different # of electrons
Ionic bond
-non-metal atom pulls electron from a metal atom
->2 difference in electronegativity
Polar covalent bond
0.5-2 difference in electronegativity
Non-polar covalent bond
<0.5 difference in electronegativity
Covalent bond
share electrons
Exothermic reaction
-gives off heat
-heat in left side (product)
-products have less energy than reactants
-increased temperature = increased reactants
-increased temperature = decreased K
