|
Structure of Atoms:
|
Protons:
*in nucleus *+charge *determines elements Neutrons *In nucleus *No charge *Determines isotope Electrons *surround nucleus *(-) charge *participates in chemical reactions |
|
Rule for electron distribution:
|
1. Max 2 electrons in 1st level
2. Max 8 electrons in 2nd level 3. Max 8 electrons in 3rd level |
|
Octet Rule:
|
1. Outermost energy shell cannot have more 8 electrons.
2. Outermost energy level should be complete (8 electrons) for the atom to be STABLE. |
|
Atomic number:
|
# of protons
|
|
Atomic Mass; Weight; Mass #
|
Reflects the # of protons + the # of neutrons
|
|
When are atoms neutral?
|
For Atoms to be neutral in charge the number of protons must = the number of electrons
|
|
What are isotopes?
|
* same # of protons, DIFFERENT NUMBER OF ELECTRONS.
Carbon 12 > Carbon 13, Carbon will always have 6 protons when the electrons change it becomes a Carbon isotope. |
|
Electrons
|
* could be found anywhere around the nucleus.
* most like location is its shell * energy increases away from the nulceus * # of protons also increase energy. |
|
Atoms interact to form Molecules and Compounds
|
MOLECULES:
* Combinations of atoms COMPOUNDS: * Molecules with different atoms METHODS OF COMBINATION: * sharing electrons * attract via opposing electron charges |
|
Ionic Bonds
|
Atoms that have lost or gained electron (ions) bond by the attraction of opposing electrical charges. A giver tends to interact with a taker.
|
|
Define Oxidation:
|
When an atom loses (gives up) an electron, it is oxidized
|
|
Define Reduction:
|
Conversely to the process of Oxidation, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes reduced
|
|
Oxidation and Reduction:
|
They always take place together because every electron that is lost by an atom (oxidation) is gained by some other atom (reduction). They are called REDOX REACTIONS.
|
|

a. are made up of two atoms b. have double bonds c. have two protons, 2 electrons, and two neutrons d. have two electrons in each shell |
a. are made up of two atoms
|
|
Oil and water don't mix because:
a. the surface tension of the oil is not great enough b. oil molecules are too cohesive c. hydrogen bonds will not allow the interaction d. water does not dissolve nonpolar substances |
d. water does not dissolve nonpolar substances
|
|
Describe Acid:
|
Acid dissociates to form H+ ions in water
