Chapter 2 Chemical Flashcards
(36 cards)
scientific discipline concerned with the atomic composition and structure of substances and the reaction they undergo
chemistry
all living and non-living things are composed of what?
matter
anything that occupies space and has mass
matter
amount of matter in an object
mass
the gravitational force acting on an object of a given mass
weight
the simplest type of matter having unique chemical properties
element
elements that weigh 96% of body weight
- oxygen
- carbon
- hydrogen
- nitrogen
element essential neuronal activity
sodium ion
smallest particle of an element that has the chemical characteristics of that element
atom
do not have an electric charge
neutron
positive charge
proton
negative charge
electron
the positive charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the?
negative charge of an electron
what did electrons and neutrons form?
nucleus
center of the atom?
nucleus
where electrons move around?
nucleus
nucleus
99.97% of an atoms mass, but only ten trillionth of its volume
region where electrons are most likely to be found can be represented by
electron cloud
number of protons and electron in each atom
atomic number
what two charges have equal mass
protons and neutrons
have very little mass
electron
how to compute the mass number of an element
add the number of protons and and neutrons
eg. the mass number for carbon is 12 bcoz it has 6 proton and 6 neutrons
the energy levels often drawn as concentric rings around the nucleus called?
electron shell
interaction between atoms to form molecules by either sharing or transferring their outermost electrons
chemical bonds
