|
Atom
|
A chemical unit which is the smallest particle of an element still retaining its properties
|
|
|
Element
|
A pure substance composed of only one type of atom. It is any substance that cannot be broken down to any other substance
|
|
|
A = Mass number
|
Protons + Neutrons
|
|
|
Z = Atomic number
|
Number of protons
|
|
|
Isotope
|
Two or more atoms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons
|
|
|
Atomic Weight/ Molar Mass (MM or M)
|
The average mass of an element
|
|
|
Mole
|
The quantity of a substance whose mass, in grams, is equal to its formula weight. Ex: Iron (Fe) has a formula, or molecular, weight of 55.85 grams. One mole of iron would be 55.85 grams.
|
|
|
Alkali metals
|
Group 1A elements, soft, metallic solids with low densities and low melting points
|
|
|
Alkaline earth metals
|
Group 2A elements, harder, more dense, and melt at higher temps than alkali metals
|
|
|
Chalcogens
|
Group 6A elements
|
|
|
Halogens
|
Group 7A elements, highly reactive
|
|
|
Noble gases
|
Group 8A elements, non-reactive, all gases at room temp; inert gases
|
|
|
Ions
|
A charged particle
|
|
|
Cation
|
A positively charged ion, they will move to the cathode (the negatively charged terminal) when in solution. Significantly smaller than neutral atom counterparts
|
|
|
Anion
|
A negatively charged ion they will move to the anode (the positively charged terminal) when in solution. The added electron to an outer shell makes the anion much larger
|
|
|
Ionization energy
|
The energy necessary to detach an electron from a nucleus
|
|
|
First ionization energy
|
Energy required to detach an electron from a neutral atom
|
|
|
Electronegativity
|
The tendency of an atom to attract an electron in a bond that it shares with another atom
|
|
|
Electron affinity
|
The willingness of an atom to accept an additional electron; the energy released when an electron is added to a gaseous atom
|
|
|
Five periodic trends
|

Energy of Ionization Electron Affinity Electronegativity (To the left and down) Atomic Radius Metallic Character |
|
|
Covalent bond
|
Sharing electrons by atoms
|
|
|
Ionic bond
|
Transfer of electrons by atoms
|
|
|
Bond dissociation energy/ Bond energy
|
The energy necessary to separate two atoms
|
|
|
Empirical formula
|
A chemical formula that indicates the relative proportions of the elements in a molecule rather than the actual number of atoms of the elements
|
|
|
Molecule
|
The smallest physical unit of an element or compound
|
