Molecules Vocab Flashcards
Molecule
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Chemical bond
The connection between atoms
Model
A representation of a subject
Atomic composition
The atoms that make up a molecule + the specific quality
Extended structure
A molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio + repeating pattern
Chemical structure
A specific way atoms are arranged
Crystal
Structure of atoms in a 3D patterns
EX: snowflakes and salt
Polymer
A structure of molecules with a repeating chain pattern
Glucose and fractose both have an atomic composition C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them
How they are arranged
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers
- One is only molecules and one is molecules and atoms
2.one is chain like and one is 3D
What is an element
One square of the periodic table
What is an atom
Smallest unit of an element
What is a molecule
2 or more atoms connected with a chemical bond
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
Beads=atoms sticks= chemical bond
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom
Yes
