|
|
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 |
