Term 3- Chemistry Flashcards
element
one type of atom- can be a single atom or diatomic- differ from number of subatomic particles
atoms
basic unit of matter
nucleus
dense center of an atom surrounded by cloud of negatively charged behaviour
subatomic particles
particles within and surrounding nucleus
proton
positively charged particle
neutron
neutral particle
electron
negatively charged particle
Periodic Law
when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties
names for columns and rows in PT
columns > groups; rows > periods
classes in PT
metals, non-metals, and metalloids
similarity between elements in the same period
same number of shells
similarities between elements in the same group
same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties
properties of metals
- good conductors of heat and electricity
- shiny
- ductile
- malleable
- reaction with water- corrosion
- solid at room temperature (except Mercury)
- sonorous
properties of non-metals
- poor conductors
- not ductile or malleable
- brittle
- dull in colour
- dull sound when hit
- many are gases
properties of metalloids
- properties of both metals and non-metals
- shiny or dull
- better conductors than non-metals; not as well as metals
- ductile and malleable
types of bonding
ionic, covalent, and metallic
ionic bonding
- between metals and non-metals
- transfer of electrons where opposite charged ions bond with each other (positive with negative) to balance charges
- crystalline structure
- solid state
covalent bonding
- between non-metals
- sharing valence electrons with each other
- molecular structure
- gases, liquids, or low melting points solids
metallic bonding
- between metals
- sea of electrons- valence electrons are shared among atoms, free to move between atoms
- crystalline structure
- solid state
cations
positively charged ion
anions
negatively charged ion
ions
atom or molecule with a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons (they do this to gain a noble gas electron configuration)
how to name ionic compounds
- name cation first
- name anion second
- for single ions- elemental non-metal name + ‘ide’
- for polyatomic ions- name from the ions table
types of reactions
- synthesis
- decomposition
- single displacement
- double displacement
- combustion
- oxidation
- reduction
- precipitation
