Molecules Vocabulary/Study Guide 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 that atoms are arranged
Chemical structure
A molecule whose atom occur in a constant ratio and repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern, ex; snowflakes, sugar, and salt
Crystal
Structure of molecules with a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
- Glucose and Fructose both have an atomic composition of C3H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them?
Their chemical structure
- List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
Crystals are atoms or molecules and polymers are only atoms. Crystals have a 3D pattern and polymers have a chain pattern
- What is an element?
One of the squares on the periodic table
- What is atom
Smallest unit of a element
- What is a molecule?
Two or more atoms held together with a chemical bond.
- When making molecules models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
The beads represent one element and the sticks represents the chemical bond.
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
