Quiz 1 Flashcards
The atomic theory
1- Elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms 
The atomic theory
All atoms of one element are identical, have the same size, mass and chemical properties 
The atomic theory
Compounds are composed of atoms of more than one element
The atomic theory
A chemical reaction involves only the separation combination or rearrangements of atoms. It does not result in their creation or destruction (law of conservation of mass)
Compounds
The same element can make different compounds differ in their number of atoms of each kind of that combine
The structure of the atom
Atoms are made of small particles called subatomic particles ; electrons, protons, and neutrons
Electron location
Outside the nucleus
Proton and neutron location
Inside the nucleus
The atomic number ( Z )
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element
The atomic number ( Z )
Atoms can be identified by the number of protons and neutrons, they contain
The atomic number ( Z )
The chemical identity of an atom can be determined from its atomic number 
The mass number ( A )
The total number of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom of an element 
The mass number ( A )
All atom nuclear contain both protons and neutrons. except for hydrogen, which has one proton and no neutrons 
Nucleons
Protons and neutrons are called nucleons
Neutron No.
The number of neutrons in an atom is equal to the difference between the mass number and the atomic number or ( A - Z )
Isotopes
Atoms that have the same atomic number, but different mass numbers due to the difference in neutron number 
Periodic table
A chart in which elements having similar chemical and physical properties are grouped together
Periodic table
Elements are arranged by atomic number in horizontal rows called periods and in vertical columns known as groups or families 
Periodic table
Elements are divided into three categories; metals, nonmetals and metalloids
Metal elements
A metal is a good conductor of heat and electricity 
none metal elements
Nonmetal is a poor conductor of heat and electricity
Metalloids
A metalloid has properties that are intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals
Groups special names
Group 1A elements are called alkali metals
Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals
Group 7A elements are called halogens
Group 8A elements are called noble gases or rare gases
Molecules
An aggregate of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical forces
