Tags and Description

33 Terms

1

Atom

made of protons and neutrons in a nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus.

New cards
2

reason for atoms having diff characteristics

Atoms of different elements have different characteristics because of different amounts of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

New cards
3

Neutral Atom

same amount of protons and electrons, neutrally charged

New cards
4

Ion

different numbers of electrons than original

New cards
5

Cation

type of ion where atom has more protons than electrons, positively charged

New cards
6

Anion

type of ion where atom has more electrons than protons, negatively charged

New cards
7

Isotope

different number of neutrons

New cards
8

Intramolecular bonds

hold atoms together within a molecule

New cards
9

Intermolecular bonds

bond that exists between molecules

New cards
10

are intramolecular or intermolecular bonds stronger?

intramolecular

New cards
11

molecule

a group of 2+ atoms held together by chemical bonds (H2, O2, and O3)

New cards
12

compound

different types of atoms chemically bonded (CaCl2 or NaBr)

New cards
13

covalent bonds

formed when non metal atoms share their valence electrons to gain octets (a full valence shell)

New cards
14

ionic bonds

one atom gives up electron to another atom

New cards
15

hydrogen bonds

two water molecules bonding because of the positive ends of hydrogen molecules bonds with the negative end of the oxygen molecules

New cards
16

are covalent or hydrogen bonds stronger

covalent

New cards
17

proton

Positively charged subatomic particle

New cards
18

electron

negatively charged subatomic particle

New cards
19

Neutron

neutrally charged subatomic particle

New cards
20

Nucleus

Center/core of an atom, consisting of protons and neutrons

New cards
21

Energy Level/Electron Shell

Regions surrounding the nucleus containing a specific number of electrons

New cards
22

Atom

The smallest particle of matter that contains the characteristics of an element

New cards
23

Atomic Number

The number of protons in an atom

New cards
24

Mass Number

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom

New cards
25

Atomic Mass

Unrounded number of the mass of an atom

New cards
26

Valence electrons

Electrons in the outer shell of an atom

New cards
27

Polarity

atoms being positively and negatively charged

New cards
28

Cohesion

Molecules of the same substance bonding

New cards
29

Adhesion

Molecules of different substances bonding

New cards
30

capillary action

The ability water has to flow upward against the force of gravity due to cohesion and adhesion.

New cards
31

universal solvent

Universal Solvent - liquid that dissolves most/all solutes (water)

New cards
32

solvent

a liquid that dissolves a particle

New cards
33

Solute

particle or liquid that gets dissolved in the solvent
