Molecules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecule
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
Atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantity
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged
Chemical structure
Molecule whose atom occurs in a constant ratio and repeating patterns
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystals
Structure of molecules with a repeating chain
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?
The atoms are arranged in a different pattern
List two differences between crystals and polymers?
crystals can be a single type of atom or molecule and crystals are in 3D pattern but polymer is made of only molecules in chains and the molecules are in a repeating chain pattern
What is an element?
An element is a 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 2 or more atoms bonded together
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent?the sticks?
The beads represent the elements and the sticks represent the bonds that hold the elements together
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes because crystals can change with temperature and pressure
