Vocab 3 Atomic and Molecular Structure
protonA positively charged particle in an atom
neutronA particle in an atom that has no charge
ionA charged particle that is formed when electrons are gained or lost
isotopesAtoms of the same element with different number of neutrons
atomic numberThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
mass numberThe sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom
atomic massThe average of the masses in an element’s isotopes
oxidation numberA number that indicates an element’s charge
chemical bondsA force that holds atoms together in molecules
ionic bondsA bond formed by an electron transfer
electronA negatively charged particle in an atom
covalent bondA bond formed by sharing electrons
valence electronsThe electrons in the outermost energy levels often involved in bonding
periodic tableA chart in which elements are grouped according to their properties and increasing mass numbers
periodsThe seven numbered horizontal ( > ) rows on the Periodic Table. Elements within each period have: 1- different chemical and physical properties 2- different number of electrons in the outer energy level 3- same number of energy levels
groupsThe eighteen numbered vertical ( ^ ) rows on the Periodic Table. Elements in the same group have: 1- • similar chemical and physical properties 2- same number of electrons in their outer energy level 3- different number of energy levels
metalsElements that are:1 - shiny 2- good conductors of heat & electricity 3 - malleable 4 - tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions 5 - are found on the left side of the Periodic Table
nonmetalsnonmetals - Elements that : 1 - lack luster (not shiny) 2 - are poor conductors heat and electricity 3 - are not malleable 4 - tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions 5 - found on the right side of the Periodic Table
noble gasesRelatively inactive inert elements found in group 18
Law of Conservation of MassA law that states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products
chemical reactionA process in which bonds break apart and combine into new kinds of matter with different properties
reactantThe starting substances in a chemical reaction
productThe new substance(s) that are formed in a chemical reaction
precipitateA solid that separates from a solution
activation energyThe energy required to break the bonds in a chemical reaction
exothermic reactionA chemical reaction that releases energy
endothermic reactionA chemical reaction that absorbs energy
chemical symbolA one or two letter abbreviation for an element
chemical formulaA group of symbols that shows the makeup for a compound
