Chemistry 2 Flashcards
(30 cards)
What’re the two parts of the atom?
Nucleus
Orbitals (energy levels) (electron cloud)
What is the atom?
The basic building blocks of an element
How is the neutron always charged?
Positively
What is the center of the atom?
Nucleus
What makes up the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons
What is surrounding the atom?
“Cloud” or orbitals that contain electrons
What is the charge of electrons?
Negative charge
What is the charge of neutrons?
Neutral charge
What is the first energy level?
Can only hold 2 electrons
What is the second energy level?
Can hold up to 8 electrons
What is the third energy level?
Can hold 18 electrons
What do atoms contain?
The same number of electrons and protons
What’re the 4 elements and how much of the human do they makeup?
Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon
96%
What is compound?
When two or more elements are combined
Example:
H20= 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen
What happens when atoms bond
Compounds are formed
What happens when the energy levels of atoms do not have the maximum number of electrons?
The atom is unstable and it looks to bonds
What are the 2 ways atoms bond?
Covalent bonding
Ionic bonding
What is covalent bonding
The sharing of electrons
How many nonmetald can bond covalent lay?
2
What does the covalent bonds form?
A molecule
What is ionic bonding?
Transfer of electron
What happens to the atoms during ionic bonding
One atom loses an electron and one gains an election
What happens when an atom gains or loses an electron?
It becomes an ion
What will bond ironically?
2 metals or a metal and a nonmetal
