Unit 2 Chemistry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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. |
