Nature of molecules, Chapter 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Anatomic number
A
Determine by the number of protons in the nucleus
2
Q
Anatomic Mass
A
- Sum of protons and neutrons
- measured in Daltons 6.02x1023 daltons/1 gram
3
Q
Cation
A
Positive charge
4
Q
Anion
A
Negative charge
5
Q
Isotopes
A
- Atoms of a single element with a different number of neutrons
- Named based on their atomic mass
6
Q
Radioactive Isotope
A
- unstable meaning their nucleus has a tendency to break apart= Radioactive decay
7
Q
Half-life
A
- the time it takes the atoms to decay
- half of whatever isotopes has decay
8
Q
Carbon 14
A
- Use for living tissue bond
- Carbon isotopes exist natural in known ratios
9
Q
Bohr Model
A
Way to view anatomic structure, with electrons in discrete orbitals
10
Q
Orbitals
A
Around a nucleus where electrons are most like
11
Q
Oxidation
A
loss of electrons
12
Q
Reduction
A
Gain of electrons
13
Q
Rule of 8
A
Atoms establish completely full of outer energy levels (8 electrons)
14
Q
Elements found in the 96.3% weight of your body
A
Carbon, hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
15
Q
Ionic Bond
A
- Attraction of opposite charges, strong
- Form crystals
16
Q
Covalent bonds
A
Sharing Electrons pairs, very strong
