Molecules Flashcards
A structure of molecules in a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
Two 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 consistent pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3-D pattern
Crystal
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them
That they are arranged in a different pattern
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers
1 crystal is a 3D pattern and a polymer is a repeating chain pattern
2 crystals can have single atoms and molecules and polymers only have molecules
When making molecule models the beads are ________ and the sticks are _______
Atoms and chemical bond
What is an element
Any square on the period table
What is an atom
The smallest unit of element
What is a molecule
2 or more atoms boned together by chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made up of the same atom
Yes
