Molecules Flashcards
Chemical bond
The connection between atoms in mire complex particles
Molecules
A group of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds
Model
A representation of an object that makes important aspects easier to see
Atomic composition
Types of elements that make up a substance; as well as the specific ratios of atoms of each kind of element that make it up
Chemical structure
The specific way in which the bonds and atoms are arranged within the molecules of a substance
Crystal
A solid structure whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a repeating, 3D pattern
Polymer
A type of extended structure that is made up of many smaller, repeating subunits in a chain; the repeating subunit is a unique molecule
Extended structure
A structure whose subunits occur in a constant ratio and are arranged in a repeating pattern; the subunit can be individual atoms or molecules
