Molocules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molocule
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
Type of atoms that make up a molecule + the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged in a molecule
Chemical structure
A molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio + repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern quartz, snowflake, sugar, salt
Crystal
Structure of molecules in a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
The structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
Crystals are 3D, while polymers are in a repeating chain pattern. And crystals can be made of molecules AND atoms, but polymers can only be made of molecules.
What is an element
Any square on the periodic table
What is an atom
The smallest part of an element
What is a molecule
Is 2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
Sticks: chemical bonds beads: atoms
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes because graphite and diamonds are both made of carbon
