Word
Definition
Matter   -Anything that takes up space and has mass-Diverse forms with own characteristics  
🗑
Element   -substance that cannot be broken down to other substances by chemical reactions-92 natural elements-25 essential for life  
🗑
Compound   substance consisting of two or more elements combined in a fixed ratio  
🗑
Trace Elements   required by an organism in only minute quantities  
🗑
Neutrons   -neutrally charged particles found in the nucleus  
🗑
Protons   - positively charged particles found in the nucleus- give the nucleus it's postive charge  
🗑
Electron   - negatively charged particle surrounding like a cloud moving at almost the speed of light  
🗑
Dalton   - unit of measurement for atomic and subatomic particles - named after John Dalton who created the Atomic Theory  
🗑
Atomic Number   the number of protons which is unique to every element  
🗑
Mass Number   sum of the protons and neutrons  
🗑
Atomic Weight   approximation of the total mass of an atom  
🗑
Isotopes   elements with the same number of protons but varying numbers of neutrons  
🗑
Radioactive Isotopes   - unstable,nucleus decays spontaneously giving off particles and energy- useful in the medical field  
🗑
Energy   ability to do work  
🗑
Potential Energy   the energy that matter stores because of it's position or location  
🗑
Energy Levels or Electron shells   - different states of potential energyfor electrons in the atom- energy transfers through levels- farther from nucleus, more energy  
🗑
Orbital   -three dimensional space where an electron is found 90% of the time-no more than 2 in same orbital  
🗑
Valance Electrons   found in outermost shell  
🗑
valance shell   outermost shell  
🗑
Chemical Bonds   forces of attraction that hold atoms together  
🗑
covalent bond   sharing of a pair of valance electrons by two atoms  
🗑
molecule   two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds  
🗑
structural formula   notation which represents both atoms and bonding  
🗑
molecular formula   abbreviated structural form  
🗑
double covalent bond   sharing multiple bonds  
🗑
valance   bonding capacity that equals the number of unpaired electrons in the atoms outermost shell  
🗑
electronegativity   attraction of an atom for the electrons of a covalent bond  
🗑
non polar bond   electrons are shared equally  
🗑
polar covalent bond   electron bond will not be shared equally  
🗑
ion   a charged atom or particle or entire molecules that are electrically charged  
🗑
cation   charge of ion is specifically positive  
🗑
anion   negatively charged ion  
🗑
ionic bond   attraction between cations and anions  
🗑
hydrogen bond   a hydrogen atom covalently boned to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom  
🗑
van der Waals interactions   weak attractions between molecules or parts of molecules that are brought about by localized charge fluctuations  
🗑
Chemical Reactions   making and breaking of chemical bonds leading to changes in the composition of matter  
🗑
reactants   starting material in a reaction  
🗑
products   um...the product : )  
🗑
chemical equilibrium   the point where the reactions offset one another exactly  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
