Chemistry Terms

Question 1

Atom

Answer 1

Smallest unit of matter. (Displays element properties)

Question 2

Protons

Answer 2

Positive charged particals

Question 3

Electrons

Answer 3

Negatively charged particles

Question 4

Neutrons

Answer 4

Uncharged ( building block of atoms)

Question 5

Mass number

Answer 5

Combined number of protons and neutrons together

Question 6

Atomic number

Answer 6

Number of protons

Question 7

Atomic weight

Answer 7

Average weight of all isotopes of an element

Question 8

Isotope

Answer 8

Atoms with different number of neutrons

Question 9

Chemical bond

Answer 9

Forces that hold together the atoms

Question 10

Ions

Answer 10

Atom that loses or gains one or more valence electron

Question 11

Ionic bond

Answer 11

(Atom steals electron from another atom) positive and negative ions attract to one another

Question 12

Cations

Answer 12

Positive charges ions

Question 13

Antion

Answer 13

Negative charges ion

Question 14

Covalent bond

Answer 14

2 or more atoms share electrons. Stronger and more stable bond.

Question 15

Nonpolar covalent bond

Answer 15

2 atoms share electron evenly

Question 16

Polar covalent bond

Answer 16

Sharing of atoms are unequal. 1 atom can attract electrons more strongly than the other atom. Has a slight positive/negative charge.

Question 17

Hydrogen bond

Answer 17

Weakest. Attraction or oppositely charges molecules rather than stealing. Causes cohesion

Question 18

Molecule

Answer 18

2 or more atoms held together by a chemical bond

Question 19

Compound

Answer 19

Atoms that are held together are different from one another

Question 20

Solute

Answer 20

(Salt) substance that is dissolved in solution

Question 21

Solvent

Answer 21

(Water) fluid where substance are dissolved in

Question 22

Solution

Answer 22

Mixture of components.

Solute+solvent=solution

Question 23

Element

Answer 23

Fundamental substance that can’t be broken down

o2, H, C and N
