Science Unit test 2 Flashcards
Atomic # =
of protons
structure of an atom
protons and neutrons located in the nucleus, and electrons orbiting the nucleus
4 families/ groups on the periodic table
Alkali metals, Alkaline earth metal, Halogens and Noble gases
Atomic mass =
of protons and neutrons
Different categories of elements
Metals, Non-metals and Metalloids
Ionic Compound
made up of metals and non-metals
Molecular Compounds
between non-metals
Ionic Compound transfers
metals give away there electrons to the non metals to make them stable
Molecular Compound transfers
Non-metals share the electrons not giving any away just sharing
Noble gases are always
*stable
Ions are formed by…
an atom losing or gaining electrons
ion with a positive charge…
cation (usually metals)
ion with negative charge…
anion (usually non-metals)
