molucules Flashcards
two or more atoms held together a chemical bond
molecule
connection between atoms
chemical bond
representation of an object
model
the atoms that make up a molecule and specific quantities
atomic composition
a molecule whose atom occur in a constant ratio and repeating pattern
extended structure
the specific way atoms are arranged
chemical 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 C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. what is most likely the major difference between them
the difference is that they bonded different, the structure is different, or arranged together
list 2 differences between crystals and polymers. hint: one is shape and one is composition
a crystal is made in a 3D structure and a polymer is made in a chain like structure. polymers are only made up of molecules and crystals are made up of either a single type of atom, or multiple types of atoms or molecules
what is an element
can’t be broken into smaller units, it is one block on a periodic table
what is an atom
the smallest unit of an element
what is a molecule
two or more atoms help together with a chemical bond
when making molecule models, what do the beads represent? the sticks
the beads represent atoms and the sticks represent bonds
can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom
yes, because they can be arranged in different ways, and structures would be different
