Molecules Flashcards
Two or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecules
Connection between atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
The atoms that make up molecules and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way the atoms are arranged
Chemical structure
A molecule Whose atoms occur in a constant ratio and repeating pattern.
Extended structure
Structure of atoms or molecules in a 3-D 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?
The chemical structure
List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is composition.
Crystals can have atoms, but polymers can’t and crystals has a 3D pattern, but polymers have a repeating chain pattern
What is a element
A square on the periodic table
The smallest unit of a element
Atom
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond
Molecule
When making molecule models, what do the beads represent? The sticks?
The beads represent atoms and the sticks represent the chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
