Molecules Flashcards
Molecules
2 or more atoms held together by a chemical bond
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
Atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantity
Atomic composition
A molecule whose atoms occurs in a constant ratio and repeating pattern
Extended structure
The specific way atoms are arranged
Chemical structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3D pattern
Crystal
Structure of molecules w/ 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?
The most likely difference is the pattern
- List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is
composition.
Crystals are made of both molecules and atoms while polymers are made of just molecules. Crystals are 3D while polymers are a chain.
What is an element?
smallest amount of something possible
What is an atom?
smallest unit of an element
What is a molecule?
Two or more atoms held together by a chemical bonds
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
The beads represent the atoms and the sticks represent the chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
