Science- atomic structure + the periodic table Flashcards
Atoms
The smallest unit of matter
Elements
Substances made of only one type of atom
Compounds
Substances made of 2/+ different elements chemically bonded
mixtures
Substances made of 2/+ different elements or compounds not chemically bonded
Isotope
atoms of an element with different amounts of neutrons
Protons (Charge, mass )
+1, mass of 1
Neutrons (Charge, mass )
0, mass of 1
electrons (Charge, mass )
-1 , 1/2000
Groups
elements with similar properties , arranged in verticle columns
How are the elements in the periodic table arranged?
Atomic number
Ions
A charged atom
Metals (where it is found, group + forms)
G1,2,3 , forms positive ions
None metals (where it is found, groups +forms
G 4,5,6,7,8/0 , forms negative ions
Halogens
group 7, the reactivity decreases down the group
Noble gases
group 0/8 ,unreactive
Reactivity
the tendency for a substance to have a chemical reaction
