Chapter 2 - Atoms, Molecules, Ions Flashcards
(30 cards)
number of protons - number of electrons
atomic charge
when 2 elements combine to form more than one compound, the ratio of the ratios of their masses will be small whole numbers
Law of Multiple Proportions
isomers that differ in the way atoms are connected
structural isomers
2 or more atoms (same or different) joined together by forces or bonds
molecule
moderate conductors, have properties of metals and non-metals
metalliods
exceedingly small particles that make up matter
atoms
compound with one metal and one non-metal
binary compound
who created the Law of Multiple Proportions
Dalton
Rutherford: the positively-charged particles are centered in a what?
nucleus
Molecular compound naming rules
2nd atom named like anion, use prefixes to denote number of each atom present (don’t use mono- on first atom)
molecules that have the same types of numbers of atoms but differ in the way the atoms are connected to each other
isomers
formed between cation and anion
ionic bond
1 atomic mass unit equals what fraction of the mass of a certain element?
1/12 mass of carbon atom
who created the Law of Definite Proportions
Proust
contains covalent bonds; involves two or more non-metals
molecular compounds
consists of only one type of atom which has mass that is characteristic and consistent
element
varieties of elements that have different numbers of neutrons
isotopes
Rutherford: atoms must consist of mostly what?
open space
naming an acid with oxygen
based on anion suffix: -ate changes to -ic, and -ite changes to -ous
ion with more than one atom
polyatomic ion
all samples of a pure substance contain the same elements in the same proportions
Law of Definite Proportions (or Constant Composition)
when atoms become cations, the size gets _____
smaller
naming an acid without oxygen
hydro_____ic acid
contains ionic bonds; involves a metal and one or more non-metals
ionic compounds
