Monatomic, Molecular & Metallic Lattices

Question 1

What are the 3 types of elements?

Answer 1

Monatomic elements
Molecular elements
Metallic Lattices

Question 2

What are Monatomic Elements?

Answer 2

Elements that consist of 1 single atom.
(They are rare)
Mono=one

Question 3

What are some examples of monatomic elements?

Answer 3

Helium (He)
Argon (Ar)
Krypton (Kr)

Question 4

What are molecular elements?

Answer 4

Contain more than 1 element, but all atoms are the same.
Most non-metallic elements are molecules.
The molecular formula tells us how many atoms are present.

Question 5

What are some examples of molecular elements?

Answer 5

Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine.

Question 6

What are metallic lattices?

Answer 6

Large grid like structures.
Make metals strong and solid
Particles can slide and move

Question 7

How do you know when elements exist as molecular elements?

Answer 7

A molecule is a cluster of 2 or more atoms tightly bonded together. Cl2 (chlorine), O2 (oxygen gas) and F2 (Florine) all contain 2 atoms so they exist as molecules.
