Ions And Flashcards
The study of interactions between atoms and molecules
Chemistry
The smallest indivisible unit of matter: interact to form molecules
Atom
Atoms are composed of
Nucleus
Neutrons- no electrical charge
Protons- positive charge
Electrons- negative charge
Electron cloud/ shell
Atoms with the same number of protons are classified as
The same chemical element
Each different chemical element has a different number of
Protons- positive charge
Atomic number aka
Number of protons
Mass number aka
Number of protons+number of neutrons
Number of neutrons=
Mass number-atomic number (which is number of protons)
Two atoms of an element that differ in the number of neutrons
Isotopes
The number of protons and electrons are
Equal in an atom
Chemical behavior is determined by
The distribution of electrons in the electron shells
Periodic table shows
The electron distribution
The number of missing or extra electrons in the outermost shell is known as
The valence electrons
Valence electrons of the combing atoms form attractive forces called
Chemical bonds
A compound is
A molecule that contains two or more kinds of atoms
Such as water: two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen
Octet rule
2,8,8
Atoms with incomplete valence shells can
Share or transfer valence electrons with certain other atoms
Held by attractions —-> staying close together
Chemical bonds
Ionic bond =
Electron transfer
atomic number
. of protons
number of neutrons
mass number- atomic number
96% of human body is made up of
oxygen
carbon
hydrogen
nitrogen
number of protons + number of neutrons=
atomic mass
electron transfer
ionic bond
positively charged ion
cation
negatively charged ion
anion
