Molecules Flashcards
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecule
The connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
The atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged
Chemical stucture
A molecule whose atoms occur in a constant ratio and repeating pattern
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystal
Structure of molecules with a repeating chain pattern
Polymer
Glucose and fructose both have an atomic composition of C6H12O6 but they are different molecules. What is most likely the major difference between them?
Their Chemical Structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
Polymers are only made of molecules and crystals can be molecules or atoms
What is an element
Substance that can’t be broken down any more
What is an atom
The smallest unit of an element
What is a molecule
Two or more atoms held together by a chemical bond
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes or No
Yes
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
