Second semester Flashcards
Most penetrating type of radiation
Gamma
Negatively charged particles emitted firm a nucleus at high speed
Beta
Amount of time it takes for half of a radioactive isotope to break apart
Half life
The process by which nuclei having low masses are united to form nuclei with larger masses
Fusion
Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
Isotope
Stopped by a piece of paper a helium nucleus that is the weakest form of radiation
Alpha
The splitting apart if a nucleus of a large atom into two smaller atoms
Fission
Group 18 inert do not form compounds
Noble gases
The most reactive group of metals
Alkali metals
Elements that form salts by combining with metals
Halogens
Includes Oxygen and Sulfur
Chalcogens
React for form bases found in minerals
Alkaline earth metals
Form multiple charges used to make pigments
Transition metals
Found in the stair step line part metal part nonmetal

What does the chemical symbol represent for an element
Name
This shows the number of elements in a compound and now they are bonded together

What do dot diagrams represent
Valence Electrons
What kind if chemical bond is formed when an equal exchange or transfer of electrons occur
Ionic
Hold atoms together in a compound
Chemical bond
A group of covalently bonded atoms that acts together as one charged atom
Polyatomic Ion
This is an abbreviation used for elements in chemistry
Chemical symbol
A chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons
Covalent
What is an insoluble compound that forms during a chemical reaction
Precipitate
Numbers that precede chemical formulas used to balance equations
