Key Terms Ans Random Shit Flashcards
How do you find the mass number
Total number of protons and neutrons
How are compounds formed
Compounds are formed when atoms of two or more elements chemically combined together e.g. carbon dioxide
What’s an isotope
Isotopes are different atomic forms of the same element which have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons
What’s are 2 popular isotopes
Carbon 12 and carbon 14
What’s ionic bonding
In ionic bonding atoms lose or gain electrons to form charged particles called ions which are then strongly attracted to one another because of positive and negative charges
What do you all atoms over the left hand side of the periodic table have (groups 1/2)
One or two electrons in their outer shell which they want to “get rid off”
What do all atoms over the right hand side of the periodic table have (groups 6/7)
Outer shells which are nearly full
What else happens in ionic bonding
In ionic bonding atoms don’t become one instead atoms lose all gain electrons and then attached to each other/stick to each other because of negative/positive charges
What do Ionic compounds always have
Giant ionic lattices
What’s the example of a giant ionic lattice
A single crystal of sodium chloride (salt)
What are the properties of ionic compounds
.high melting points
.hight boiling points
.dissolve easily in water
What’s happens when ionic compounds melt/dissolve
When Ionic compounds melt the ions are free to move and they’ll carry electric current
when ions dissolved in water that I am separate and all free to move in the solution so that carry electric current
What’s the overall charge of any ionic compound
0
What’s the difference between ionic bonding and covalent bonding
Ionic bonds giveaway electrons whereas covalent bonds share them
Covalent bonds only share electrons from the outer shells
What is a simple molecular structure
atoms that form very strong covalent bonds come together to form small molecules of several atoms - weak bonds
