| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATOMS protons | positively charged; all atoms have protons; have atomic mass; located in the nucleus of the atom. |
| ATOMS neutrons | neutral in charge; the same mass as the proton; also located in the nucleus of the atom. |
| ATOMS electrons | negative charge, found in the “electron cloud” (outside of the nucleus) negatively charged; attracted to positive charge; move around the nucleus at high speeds in different energy levels; same number as protons. |
| PERIODIC TABLE atomic mass (sometimes called mass number) | is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. |
| PERIODIC TABLE group number (found at the top of each column) | is equal to the number of valence electrons. This is used when drawing electron dot structures. |
| PERIODIC TABLE atomic number | equal to the number of protons. |
| NUMBER OF PROTONS | is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. |
| INERT ELEMENTS (ALSO CALLED NOBLE GASES) | have complete outer energy level of electrons |
| ELECTRONS | only atomic particles involved in ordinary chemical reaction |
| CHEMICAL REACTION | produces a new compound with different chemical properties..behaves in a different way |
| Atom | smallest unit of matter unique to a particular element. |
| Atomic Symbol | scientists use a symbol of one or two letters to identify elements. First (or only) letter capital, 2nd lower case |
| Atomic Energy levels | electrons can only exist in particular energy levels around the nucleus. An atom is most stable when it fills its Outermost Energy Level; helium has complete OEL with 2; all other elements require 8. |
| Ionic Bonds | when a transfer of electrons occurs between two or more atoms, negatively charged ions are attracted to positively charged ions. |
| Covalent Bonds | some atoms (nonmetals) complete their outer levels by sharing electrons. The same pair of electrons move around the nuclei of both atoms in covalent bonding. |
| Balancing Equations | there should be the same number of atoms on each side of the equation. Multiply the atoms in each molecule by the number of molecules to see that they balance: 2H2 + 02-> 2 H2O |
| Conservation of Mass | matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. |
| Pure substance | any element or compound; a substance is the same throughout and has a fixed chemical composition. |
| Mixture | two or more substances mixed together without being chemically combined. The substances can be separated without a chemical reaction. |
