Matter L2 Overall Assessment Questions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chemical bond | the connection between atoms in more complex particles |
| Molecule | a group of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds; a molecule has a unique composition and structure |
| Model | a representation of an object which makes important aspects easier to see |
| Atomic composition | the types of elements that make up a substance, as well as the specific ratios of atoms of each kind of element that make it up |
| Chemical structure | the specific way in which the bonds and atoms are arranged within the molecules of a substance |
| Crystal | a solid structure whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a repeating, three-dimensional pattern |
| Polymer | a type of extended structure that is made of many smaller, repeating subunits in a chain; the repeating subunit is a unique molecule |
| Extended structure | a structure whose subunits occur in a constant ratio and are arranged in a repeating pattern |
| If I have a crystal made of cube shaped molecules, what shape will the WHOLE crystal be? | A cube |
| Molecules with identical chemical composition but different structures will have different | properties |
| Different arrangements mean that the molecules have different | different properties |
| True or False: H₂O is the CHEMICAL FORMULA for water? | True |
| A molecule's STRUCTURE is... | The way the atoms and bonds are arranged (put together). |
| A molecule's COMPOSITION is... | The number and types of atoms in the molecule. |
| When you have a molecule, and you repeat it over and over again, what do you have? | An extended structure |
| Why do crystals form unique shapes? | the arrangement of the atoms |
| What do we use to help us visualize and understand atoms? | models |
| A chemical formula is... | the type and number of atoms is a molecule |
| Plastic is made of chains of smaller molecules, that means that it is a .... | polymer |
