| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| known elements | 109 |
| atoms | smallest unit an element can be divided into |
| elements occur in living things | 25 |
| CHONPS | carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus & sulfur |
| isotope | the number of neutrons are changed |
| ion | protons & electrons aren't equal |
| negative ion | more electrons than protons |
| positive ion | more protons than electrons |
| valence electron | electrons in the outermost shell |
| helium on the right because... | it has full valence, 2 of 2, not 2 of 8 |
| happy atom | has a full valence shell & group 8 is happy so they don't react |
| covalent bonding | sharing an electron, non-metal & non-metal |
| hydrocarbons | hydrogen & carbon molecules |
| CHONPS behavior | act like non-metals; gain; forming covalent bonds |
| ionic bonding | one gains, the other loses & between metal and non-metal |
