Section 3 Flashcards
How many electrons is on each shell
How is it charged?
- 2 electrons
- 8 electrons
- 8 electrons and so on…
Negatively charged particle
When last shell is competed what kind of element is is
Stable element
Valence electron
Electrons in the outer shell of an atom
2 different chemical bonds that allow atoms to fill their outer shell
- covalent bond
- ionic bond
Covalent bond
Atoms share 1 or more of their valence electrons with other atoms
Covalent bonds could be double or single what does that mean (some are triple)
Single bond
1 electron is shared
Double bond
Sharing 2 pairs of electrons between 2 atoms
Ionic bond
Atoms gain or lose some of their valence electrons to become charged particles- ions
Ions are..
attracted to each other by their opposite charges
Ionic compound
Chemical compound composed of 2 or more ions
Metal atoms tend to ….. an electron
Tend to lose an electron
Ionisation
Process of losing or gaining electron
Ionic compound form when….
Metal + non metal
Covalent compound form when….
Non metal + non metal
What does actinic number tells you
How manat protons and electrons there are in an atom of the element
F.e H
1 proton
1 electron
Atomic group tells you
How many bonds atom can make H-1 Be- 2 B -3 C-4
