Molecules Flashcards
Two or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecule
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
The atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged
Chemical structure
A molecule whose atoms occur in a certain ratio and repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystal
Structure of molecules with a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6,H12,O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them
Structure
List two differences between crystals and polymers
Polymer can only have molecules and is chain shaped, but crystals can be molecules or atoms and are 3D
What is an element
A square on the periodic table
What is an atom
The smallest unit of an element
What is a molecules
Two or more atoms bonded together
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
Beads:atoms
Sticks: bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom
Yes, but the structure would be different
