Q

nearly all known elements have two or more stuctural variations called

24
Q

is an average of the weights (mass number) of all the isotopes of an element taking into account their relative abundance in nature

A

atomic weight

25
the heavier isotopes of many elements are unstable and their atoms decompose spontaneously into more stable forms this processs of atomic decay is called radioactivity, and isotopes that demonstate this behavior are called
radioisotopes
26
when two or more different kinds of atoms bind they form molecules of a
compound
27
are homogeneus mixtures of components that may be gases liquids or solids
solutions
28
the substance present in the greatest amount is called
solvent
29
substances present in smaller amounts are called
solutes
30
solutions used in a college labratory or a hospital often describe in terms of the
percent
31
still another way to express the concentration of a solution is in terms of its
molarity or moles per liter M
32
of any element or compound is equal to its atomic weight or molecular weight in grams
mole
33
one mole of any substance alwyays contains exactly the same number of solute particles that is 6.02 x 10 to the (23rd)
Avogadros number
34
emulsions are heterogenous mixtues which means that their composition is dissimilar in different areas of the mixture
colloids
35
that is to chane reversibly from a fluid state to a more soid gel state jello or any gelatin product
sol-gel transformations
36
heterogenous mixtures with large often visible solutes that tend to settle out like sand and water blood and plasma
suspensions
37
when atoms combine with other atoms they are held together by
chemical bonds
38
each electron shell represents a different
energy level
39
refers to an atoms outermost energy level or that portions of it containg the electrons that are chemically reactive
valence shell
40
except for shell 1, which is full when it has 2 elections, atoms tend to interact in such a way that they end up having 8 elections in their velance shell
octet rule or rule of eights
41
however elections can be transferred from one atomt oanother and when this happens the precise balence of + and - charges is lost so that charged particles called -------- is formed
ions
42
is a chemical bond between atoms formed by the transfer of one or more electons from one atom to the other
ionic bond
43
net negative charge
aninon
44
positive charge
cation
45
large arrays of cations and anions held together by ionic bonds
crystals
46
electron sharing prouces molecules in which the shared electiond occupy a single orbital common to both atoms which constitutes a
covalent bond
47
the molecules formed are electically balanced and are called
nonpolar molecules
48
it may also result in unequal electon pair sharing creating a
polar molecule
49
in general small atoms with 6 or 7 valence shell elections such as oxygen nitrogen and chlorine are electron hungry and attract electons very stongly a capability called
electronegativety
50
most atoms with only one or two valence shell electrons tend to be
electropostivie
51
because water has two poles of charge it is a polar molecule or
dipole
52
occurs whenever chemical bonds are formed rearraned or broken
chemical reaction
53
the number and kinds of the interacting substances
the reactants
54
the chemical composition of the result of the reaction
the products
