Q

radioactive decay

A

process of a radioisotope losing particles and energy over time

17
Q

electron orbitals

A
  • house electrons
  • filled from lower to higher energy
  • farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its potential energy
18
Q

electron shells

A

1st - 2 electrons, each shell after = 8 electrons

19
Q

free radicals

A

uncharged solitary atoms with unpaired electrons

20
Q

ions

A

atoms with an unequal number of protons and electrons

21
Q

chemical bond

A

attractive force that arises between two atoms when their valence electrons interact

22
Q

ionic bonds

A

donation or theft of electrons results in ions, ions of opposite charge are strongly attracted to each other

23
Q

electromagnetically

A

measure of the ability of an atom to pull electrons away from other atoms

24
Q

polarity

A

separation of charge into partial positive and partial negative regions

25
Q

covalent bonds

A

atoms share a pair of electrons

26
Q

polar covalent

A

unequal sharing of valence electrons

27
Q

non-polar

A

equal sharing of valence electrons

28
Q

hydrogen bonds

A

partially positive hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is attractive to another electronegative atom

29
Q

van der waals interactions

A

asymmetrically distributed electrons in molecules or atoms result in hot spots of positive or negative charge

30
