Module 2,electrons, Bonding And Structure Flashcards
Compound
A substance that is composed of 2 or more different elements
Molecule
A group of atoms bonded by the covalent bonds, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. Can be element or a compound.
Ion
An atom or molecule with a net charge due to loss/gain of electrons
Molecular ion
An ion made up of a group of atoms with an overall charge(usually by gaining/losing a monatomic ion like H+)
Monoatomic ion
Formed by gain/loss of electrons in a single atom e.g cl-
Iodide

Notation for electron shells
3s, 3 represents its in the 3rd shell, s is type of sub shell
Describe electron shells
Electrons have fixed energies. Move in shells/energy levels. Each shell has a number, n (principle quantum number), further from nucleus, higher its energy.
Orbital
An area in an atom which can hold 2 electrons. Orbitals in different sub shells have different shapes
