Organic Chemistry Flashcards
1
Q
isotope
A
atoms with same number of protons but different number of neutrons
2
Q
octet rule
A
eight valence electrons, noble gas configuration
3
Q
deuterium
A
“heavy water”, Hydrogen 2, used to cool nuclear reactors
4
Q
ions
A
same protons and different number of electrons
5
Q
protons
A
reveal what atom because it is atomic number
6
Q
ionic bond
A
metal and nonmetal, transferring electrons
7
Q
covalent bond
A
2 nonmetal, sharing electrons
8
Q
nonpolar covalent
A
electrons are shared evenly, hydrocarbons
9
Q
polar covalent
A
electrons are not shared evenly
10
Q
electronegativity
A
tendency of element to pull electrons toward itself (fluorine is most electronegative)
11
Q
valence
A
number of bonds an atom forms. carbon-4, nitrogen-3, oxygen-2, hydrogen and halogens-1
