Molecules
Connection between 2 atoms
Chemical bond
Representation of an object
Model
Type of atoms that make up a molecule and the specific quantities
Atomic composition
The specific way that atoms are arranged in a molecule
Chemical structure
A molecule who’s atoms occur in constant ratio
Extended structure
Structure of atoms in a 3d pattern
Crystals
Structure of molecules in 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?
Being a chain or 3d
- List 2 differences between crystals and polymers. Hint: one is shape and one is
composition.
How it looks or how it’s made
What is an element?
Any square on the periodic table
What is an atom
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element
What is a molecule
2 or more atoms held together with a chemical bond

Beads are atoms sticks are chemical bonds
Can you have 2 different crystals that are made of the same atom?
Yes
