chapter 2 (chem) Flashcards
atom
basic unit of matter, smallest thing that is considered matter.
whats inside atoms?
subotomic particles.
subotomic particles (inside atom)
3
- protons (+)
- nuetrons (0)
- electrons (-)
protons:
- where?
- mass/weigh?
- charge?
- center of atom, nucleose
- yes. (have mass)
- positive. (+)
nuetrons:
- where?
- mass/weigh?
- charge?
- center of atom, nucleose
- yes. (have mass)
- nutral (0)
electrons:
- where?
- weigh/mass?
- charge?
- ring outside of atom
- no. negligable, so small compared.
- negitive. (-)
nucleous
center of atom
element
pure substances, 1 atoms.
one or more of the SAME kind of atom.
atomic #
of protons in element.
2-protons, atomic #2
mass #
of protons and nuetrons
how do you get number of nuetrons?
take mass and subtract atomic
atoms are _____
nuetral
how are atoms neutral?
because the number of protons and electrons are the same, so they sort of even them selves out
compound
specific ration of 2+ different elements
Isotopes
- atoms with same # of protons, different # of neutrons
* same atomic # and different mass #
why do elements make compounds?
they are transferring electrons
Ionic bond
elements transferring electrons
how do atoms become charged?
they do Ionic bond = charged atoms
(-) (+)
protons ____ _______
protons NEVER CHANGE
atoms lose electrons =
= positive charge
atoms gain electrons =
= negitive charge
covalent bond
atoms SHARE electrons
intra mulleculer
happening inside molecule
ex: ionic & covalent bond
water
2H (hydrogen) 1O (oxygen)
