u4 Flashcards
THe number of protons in the nucleus
Atomic number
A group of different that are bonded
compound
A group of atoms that are bonded
Molecule
Pattern of repeating properties in elements when they are arranged in a specific order
periodicity
An attraction between two or more atoms
bond
A way to organize electrons into different levels surrounding the nucleus of an atom. Each shell holds a specific number of electrons
electron shell
The electrons in the outermost electron shell. These electrons form connections with other atoms
valance electrons
The distance from the nucules to the outershell of the atom
Atomic radius
A Symbol used to represent the shift of electron density in a molecule….
dipole arrow
A covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms
Nonpolar covalent bond
A measure of how strongly a nucleus is attracted to shared electrons
electronegativity
The results of the attraction of two oppositely charged ions
Ionic bond
A covalent bond formed by atoms that share two pairs of electrons
double bond
A covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons, And so the sharing is equal
Polar covalent bond
A covalent bond formed by atoms that share 3 pairs of electrons
triple bond
The attraction of the stationary metal cations to the surrounding mobile electrons
Metallic bond
Solid product that formed from a reaction and settles out of a liquid mixture.
Intermolecular forces
attractive forces that occur between molecules
precipitate
A group of atoms acting together as a single ion(charged atom)) when bonded to other atoms.
polyatomic ion
Same number of atoms in a reaction because it cannot be created nor destroyed
Law of conservation of matter
A number added to the front of a chemical formula to balance out equations
Coefficient
A reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
Decomposition
How easily a substance reacts chemically with other substances
Reactivity
A chemically equation that includes multiplayer coefficients to represent that the amounts and types of atoms on the reactants side are equal to those on the products side
Balanced chemical equation
