Test 1 Lecture Flashcards
Nonpolar
equally sharing electrons
polar
not equally sharing electrons- electron hogs like oxygen
bond between two molecules
hydrogen
Covalent bonding
sharing between atoms
Oxygen
is an electron hog
S and N
are also electron hogs
Ion
an atom that has neither gained or lost electrons
Ionic bonding
electrons are not shared. One atom loses electrons while the other gains
Symmetric structural formulas
are almost always nonpolar (equal)
Atomic mass
will be under the formula name with a decimal
Number of electrons
is the element number
How many electrons are in the Ca+2 ion?
18 electrons since the atomic number is 20 and it lost 2 electrons
Bulk element
an element we need to survive in large amounts ie hydrogen
trace element
an element we need to survive in small amounts
olive oil?
hydrophobic
kool aid
hydrophillic
caffiene
hydrophillic
