Molecules Flashcards
A structure of molecules in a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecule
Connection between two atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
Types of atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged in a molecule
Chemical structure
A molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio and repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystal
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the difference between them?
The structure
List two differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
Crystals are 3D and polymers are in a chain. Crystals can have atoms and molecules and polymers can only have molecules.
What is an element?
A square on the periodic tablr
What is an atom?
The smallest unit of an element
What is a molecule?
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
When making molecule models, what do the beads and sticks represent?
The beads are the atoms and the sticks are the bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
