25
Phase
any part of a sample that has a uniform composition and properties
26
Proton
atomic #, p+, 1+ charge, determines which element
27
Electron
e-, 1- charge, determines what charge
28
Neutron
nˆ0, 0 charge, determines if stable/radioactive
29
p+n
mass # determines which isotope
30
Photon
particle of light
31
Light
electro magnetic radiation
32
What creates light?
electrons dropping in energy
33
Does light behave as a particle or a wave?
both
34
Interference pattern
waves canceling eachother out
35
Does matter behave as a particle or a wave?
both
36
Photoelectric effect
light behaving as a particle and a wave
37
Do metals react by losing or gaining electrons?
losing, positive charge
38
Do non-metals react by losing or gaining electrons?
gaining, negative charge
39
What do metalloids do with their electrons?
share
40
Octet rule
main group elements make ions to get 8 valence e- (except post-transition metals, metalloids, and carbon)
41
Octet
full s+p valence sublevels
42
Noble gas configuration
having an octet (transition and post-transition metals can't get noble gas configurations)
43
Chemical bonds
permanent connections between atoms in compounds, metals, and molecular elements
44
Ionic bonds
metal cations + non metal anions
45
Covalent bonds
nonmetals/metalloids + nonmetals
46
Metallic bonds
metals + metals
47
How are elements bonded Ionicly?
by getting electrical charges and the opposite charges attract creating the bond
48
What is the ionic bond structure called?
a lattice structure
49
Why do ions form?
to stabilize atoms
50
Why do ionic compounds form?
to neutralize charges
51
What are anions called when an ion?
"-ide" (chlorine - neutral, chloride - ion)
52
What does every atom want?
a full valence shell
53
Molecule
a discrete particle composed of a group of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded
54
Formula unit
the smallest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It isn't a particle but rather the smallest portion of the pattern of the lattice that makes up an ionic compound
