5 Learning Targets

Unit 2 Chemistry

QuestionAnswer
Atom Smallest possible unit of an element The smallest living particle alive.
Molecule Made of atoms that have combined chemically.
Element A substance that cannot be broken down into smaller particles by chemical reactions.
Compound Molecules made from more than one type of atom.
Isotope Atoms of an element that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass. BY SUBTRACTING THE MASS AND THE PROTONS YOU GET THE NEUTRONS
Ion Charged atom or molecule.
Atomic Number Number of protons in an atom of a particular element. Number of protons is equal to the electrons and atomic number
Atomic Mass Number of protons and neutrons in an atom
Energy Levels 1 level: 2 electrons 2 level: 8 electrons 3 level: 8 electrons *Outermost valance shell wants to be full*
Chemical bonds The attraction, sharing, or transfer of outer shell electrons from one atom to another.
Structural formula Formula which represents the atoms and bonding within a molecule (e.g., H-H). The line represents a shared pair of electrons.
Molecular/chemical formula Indicates the number and type of atoms (e.g., H2)
Covalent bond Chemical bond between atoms formed by sharing a pair of valence electrons.
Single covalent bond Bond between atoms formed by sharing a single pair of valence electrons. Atoms may freely rotate around the axis of the bond.
Double covalent bond Bond formed when atoms share two pairs of valence electrons (e.g., 02). (Doesn't allow rotation)
Triple covalent Bond Bond formed when atoms share three pairs of valence electrons . NOTE: Double and triple covalent bonds are rigid and do not allow rotation.
Electronegativity Atom's ability to attract and hold electrons.
Nonpolar covalent bond Covalent bond formed by an equal sharing of electrons between atoms.
Polar covalent bond Covalent bond formed by an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms.
Ionic bond Bond formed by the electrostatic attraction after the complete transfer of an electron from a donor atom to an acceptor.
Distinguish between atom and elements An atom is a part of an element Ex. Atom- Element- Oxygen
Distinguish between molecules and compounds A molecule is made up of only atoms, while a compound is made up of molecules of one or more types of atoms Ex. Molecule- Hydrogen H Compound- H2O NOT ALL COMPOUNDS ARE MOLECULES BUT ARE MOLECULES ARE COMPOUNDS
How is an Ion formed? When an atom gains or loses an electron
Recognize the different types of isotopes of various elements
What is a polar covalent bond, how does it form, and give an example. It is: Formed: By an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms. Example:
What is a non-polar covalent bond, how it forms an give an example. It is: Formed: By an equal sharing of electrons between atoms. Example:
What is an ionic bond, how does it form and give an example. It is: Formed: The transfer of electrons from 1 atom to another. Example:
What is a hydrogen bond, how it forms, and give an example. It is: Formed:A weak attraction between a positive hydrogen atom in a molecule and a nearby negative atom of another molecule. Example:
pH scale Scale used to measure degree of acidity. It ranges from 0 to 14.
Buffer Substance that minimizes large sudden changes in pH.
Neutron No charge, in the nucleus, has mass.
Proton Positive charge, in the nucleus, has mass.
Electron Negative charge, orbits around the nucleus. Mass is so small not calculated into the mass only particle in the chemical reaction. Outermost electrons involved in the chemical reaction.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
