What is the atom composed of?
|
The atom is composed of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
|
|
Are most substances we see ionic? Explain.
|
no, They are not collections of electrically charged particles (ions), but are electrically neutral combinations called molecules.
In ionic bonding, the potential energy lowering must occur. But many times, it is not possible because of the great range of IE. |
|
Eplain the formation of a hydrogen molecule
|
Before they join, the 1s orbitals of each H atom is only half-filled. When they join, they share each other's electrons, filling each other's 1s orbital pair.
More simply, an electron pair can be represented by a dash. H-H |

what is matter
|
Matter is anything occupying space and having mass; it is the material of the universe.
|
|
what is the octet rule?
|
a tendency of atoms in molecules to have eight electrons in their valence shells. (Two for hydrogen atoms.) The octet rule is a general rule, but is not followed by all molecules.
|
|
what is an example of a Crystalline?
|
diamond
|
|
example of amorphous
|
glass
|
|
solids
|
have definite shape and definite volume
|
|
speed
|
the time rate of motion
|
|
velocity
|
speed of certain objects
|
|
Acceleration
|
the rate of change of velocity
|
|
Newton's First Law of Motion
|
If there are no forces acting on an object, then it will continue to move along a staight line with uniform speed
|
|
Newton's Second Law of Motion
|
The effect of a force is to cause the object to accelerate in the direction of the force
|
|
Newton's Third Law of Motion
|
When one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction.
