16
Q

What is a molecule?

A

at least two atoms held together by covalent bonds

17
Q

What does the period number tell you on the periodic table?

A

number of shells in an atom

18
Q

What does the group number tell you on the periodic table?

A

number of electrons in the outer shell

19
Q

How is the periodic table arranged?

A

lists elements in order of increasing atomic number

20
Q

What is an electrons relative mass?

A

1/2000

21
Q

What are the relative masses of protons and neutrons?

A

both 1

22
Q

What is the atomic number?

A

number of protons
defines what the element is
does not change in chemical reaction

23
Q

What is a compound?

A

more than one element chemically bonded together

24
Q

What is an ionic compound?

A

it is formes by the transfer of 1 or more electrons from the atom of one element to an atom of another element

25
Q

What is a cation?

A

positively charged atom
(loses electrons)

26
Q

What is an anion?

A

negatively charged atom
(gains electrons)

27
Q

What are covalent substances?

A

atoms bonded to each other by covalent bonds
formed when a pair of atoms share a pair of electrons

28
Q

What holds a covalent substance together?

A

the electrostatic attraction and the nuclei of the two atoms involved

29
Q

How do you know what compounds are covalently bonded?

A

Only non-metals present

30
Q

How do you know what compounds are ionically bonded?

A

made of a metal and a non-metal

31
Q

What is the formula for methane?

A

CH4

32
Q

What is the formula for nitric acid?

A

HNO3

33
Q

How do you produce an ionic equation?

A
  1. write the full equation including state symbols
  2. write full ionic equation
  3. remove spectator ions ( ones that don’t change state in reaction)

solids, liquids and gases do not seperate as ions
only aqueous solutions seperate in water as ions

34
Q

What happens when you dissolve an ionic compound in water?

A

it seperates into its induvidual ions
