Matter
anything that has mass and takes up space
Element
a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom
Compunds
a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio
Atom
smallest, stable unit of an element
atomic theory
1.Matter is composed of atoms
2.Atoms in each element are different than those of other elements
3.Chemical compounds made of atoms in specfic ratios
4.Chemical reactions change the way atoms are combined;Atoms are unchanged
Proton
positive charge, 1 AMU, in nucleus
Neutron
no charge, 1 AMU, in necleus
Electron
negative charge, very small mass
Atomic number
upper left
=to # of protons
Atomic mass
mass - atomic #
protons+neutrons
Isotope
same elements, different mass
Radioactive isotopes
unstable, nucleus decays spontaneously giving off particles and energy
Periodic table
periods=rows
groups=columns
Main group elements 1A-8A
Electron shells
1st. lowest energy, Max 2 electrons
2nd. Next highest, Max 8 electrons
3rd. Highest energy. Max 8
Valence Shell
-outermost occupied shell
-if valence shell has missing electrons, more prone to form bonds/compounds
Covalent bond
Shared electrons
Double bond
sjared 4 electrons
Triples bond
Shared 6 electrons
Ionic bond
transfer of electrons
Hydrogen bond
between opposite poles of charged (polar) molecules (weakest bonds)
Electro negativity
Amount of E- attraction of atom in covalent bond
Non polar
Even electron sharing
Polar
Uneven electron sharing
Ion
Atom that has gained or lost 1 or more electrons
