anything that occupies space and has mass
Matter
the amount of matter in an object
Mass
results from the gravitational attraction between the earth and an object
Weight
the simplest type of matter
Element
smallest particle of an element that has the chemical characteristics of that element
Atom
the number of protons in each atom of an element
Atomic number
the number of protons and neutrons
Mass number
the interaction between atoms to form molecules by either sharing or transferring
Chemical bond
forms when an electron is transferred between atoms, creating oppositely charged ions
Ionic bonding
forms when atoms share one or more pairs of electors
Covalent bonding
the ability of the atom’s nucleus to pull electrons toward it
Electronegativity
the tendency of atoms to combine with other atoms until each has 8 electrons in its valence shell
Octet rule
the outermost layer
Valence shell
energy levels
Electron shell
sharing of one pair of electrons
Single covalent bond
when two atoms share two pairs of electron
Double covalent bond
when there is an unequal sharing of electrons
Polar covalent bond
when there is an equal sharing of electrons
Nonpolar covalent bond
the positive end of one polar molecule can be weakly attracted to the negative end of another polar molecule
Hydrogen bond
a substance resulting from the chemical combination of two or more different types of atoms
Compound
formed when two or more atoms chemically combine to form a structure that behaves as an independent unit
Molecule
the separation of ions in an ionic compound by polar water molecules
Dissociation
the formation or breaking of chemical bonds between atoms
Chemical reactions
substance that enter into a chemical reaction
Reactant
