Molecules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecules
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
The atoms that make up a molecule and their specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged
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
Structure of molecules with a repeating chain pattern.
Polymer
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them?
The most likely difference is the chemical structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers?
- Crystals are 3d 2. Polymer is a chain pattern
What is an element?
One square on the periodic table
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 stick’s represent?
Beads- atoms sticks- chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
