Molecules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecules
Connection between atom
Chemical bond
A representation of an object
Model
Types of atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms in a molecule are arranged
Chemical structure
A molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio or repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystal
Structure of molecules in a repeating chain pattern.
Polymer
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6H12O6 /but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them?
the structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymer. Hint:One is shape and one is composition.
Crystals are 3D, and Polymers are a chain.
Crystals can be made of molecules AND atoms, but polymers can be only made of molecules
What is an element?
Any square on the periodic table
What is an atom?
An atom is the smallest unit of an element
What is a molecule?
A molecule is two or more atoms in a certain structure
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
Beads- Atoms
Sticks- Chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
