Question | Answer |
---|---|
Avogardo's number | the number of atoms in the atomic mass of an element |
Chemical bond | an attraction between two or more different atoms that binds them together. |
Chemical formula | a representation of a compound that includes the symbols and numbers of atoms in the compound. |
Covalent bond | a type of chemical bond that is formed when two atoms share electrons. |
Diatomic molecules | a molecule that has only two atoms of the same element. |
Energy level | a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found; only a certain number of electrons can be found in each energy level of an atom. |
Formula mass | determined by adding up the atomic mass units of all the atoms in the compound; a way to compare the masses of molecules of different compounds. |
Ion | an atom that has an electrical charge. |
Ionic bond | a type of chemical bond between atoms that gained or lost electrons; a bond between ions. |
Monoatomic ions | ions that contain only one type of atom. |
Octet | an atoms eight valence electrons. |
Octet rule | states that atoms form bonds with other atoms by sharing or transferring them to complete their octet and become stable. |
Polyatomic ions | ions that contain more than one type of atom. |
Polymer | a large molecule that is composed of repeating smaller molecules called subunits or monomers. |
React | describes how atoms interact when forming a chemical bond with another atom. |
Subscript | a number in a chemical formula that show the number of a type of atom. |
Valence electrons | the electrons in an atom that are involved in the formation of chemical bonds. |
Lewis dot diagrams | represents an element and its valence electrons by writting the element symbol and dots around to represent the electrons. |
