The fundamental building blocks of matter, material that cannot be broken into simpler materials by ordinary chemical means

H

Hydrogen

C

Carbon

N

Nitrogen

O

Oxygen

Na

Sodium

Mg

Magnesium

P

Phosphorus

S

Sulfur

K

Potassium

Ca

Calcium

Fe

Iron

Cu

Copper

I

Iodine

Atom

The smallest indivisible piece of any element, smallest unit of matter that retains the chemical properties of the element

Molecule

Two or more atoms combined by chemical bond

Compound

A substance composed of molecules, two or more different elements

Protons

Mass = 1 amu


Charge = positive (+1)

Neutrons

Mass = 1 amu


Charge = neutron (0)

Electrons

Mass = 1/1800th amu


Charge = negative (-1)

Nucleus

Mass in center of atom, contains protons & neutrons, 99.9% of atom’s mass

Electrons are found in the..

Orbitals

Orbital

Pathways followed by electrons orbit the nucleus in pairs

How many electrons in each orbital

2 in the first


8 in each of the rest

Orbitals energy

Outer shells have more energy than inner shells

Atomic #

# of protons

Atomic mass represents

Theoretical mass of an atom, sum of the subatomic particles

Atomic mass - atomic # =

# of neutrons

Isotope

Atoms of the same element with different atomic mass

Radioactive isotope

Chemically unstable isotope, release particles and energy

Octet rule

8 electrons in each shell

Outermost shell

Valence shell

Ion

Atom w gained or lost electron to be more stable; full valence shell

Cation

Positive ions that form by losing electrons

Anions

Negative ions formed by gaining electrons

Ionic Bond

Atoms gain/lose electron to fill valence shell, opposite charged ions are attracted to each other

Dissociation of an ionic bond

Ionically bonded compounds dissociate into ions in charged environments

Covalent Bond

Atoms share electrons to fill their valence shell

Each atom contributes one electron to a shared pair

Polar covalent bond

Electrons not shared equally; one atom has higher electro negativity (much more massive)

Hogs

Shared electrons in a polar covalent bond

Shared pairs travel

Around both nuclei

Covalent bonds

Polar

Create charged regions on molecules, molecules w charged regions are polar

Hydrophilic

Water loving

Hydrophobic

Water fearing

Water is polar

Polar molecules are attracted to water

Hydrogen bonds

Weak bonds that form between polar molecules

Van Der Waals forces

Weak, random, electrical interactions between normally uncharged molecules

Due to random momentary variations in electron distribution

Bases

Substance that dissociates in water and combines w H+ ions

Organic Molecules

Molecules in living organisms or materials derived from living organisms; Hydrocarbons

Tetravalent

Forms four covalent bonds, can attach up to four different atoms together

Isomers

Different arrangements of a molecule
