Modele 2 - things to note from lesson questions Flashcards
three main components of an atom
positively charged protons // negatively charged electrons // neutrons with a neutral charge
which two compents make uo a nucleus of an atom
proton & neutron
what defines the atomic number of an atom
number of protons
atomic mass
measure of the weight of an atom // electrons weigh an insignificant amount // atomic mass = atom’s protons + neutrons
four elements that make up majority of the human body
hydogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon
periodic table
atoms have a neutral charge, same number of potons and electrons,
atomic number
of protons
phosphorous atomic number 15– # of electrons in its innermost shell? valence shell? # of electrons needed to fill valence shell?
15 electrons /// innermost shell can only hold 2 so 2, // 8 in next shell for 10 total // valence shell has 5, needs 3 more to fill its shell
ionic bond
one atom donates electrons to the other
ionic bond (charges of the two ions if one is donatingn two electrons to participant)
the participant that is losing two electrons becomes more positive (+2), the other participant would gain two electrons become more negative (-2)
why dont noble gases such as helium, argun, and neon, form bonds with other atoms
they all have full valence shells, they dont need electrons to fill their outermost electron shell
covalent bonds
atoms that share electrons
ionic bond
electrons are donated to a receiving participant
two highly electronegative atoms that often create polar covalent bonds
oxygen and nitrogen are highly electronegative
bonds in water (h20)
polar covalent
bonds in methane (carbon & hyrdogen)
nonpolar covalent
