Molecules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together by a chemical bond
molecule
connection between atoms
chemical bond
Representation of an object
model
the atoms that make up a molecule and specific quantity
atomic composition
a molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio and repeated pattern
extended structure
the specific way atoms are arranged
chemical 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 structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
crystals - atoms and molecules and a 3D model
polymer - only molecules and a chain
What is an element?
One square on the periodic table
What is an atom?
Smallest unit of a element
What is a molecule?
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
Beads equal the atoms and the sticks equal the bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes because they have their own structures
