Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is Avogadro number? | The number of atoms in the atomic mass of an element, or the number of molecules in the formula mass of a compound when these masses are expressed in grams. |
What is chemical bond? | An attraction between two or more different atoms that bonds them together. |
What is chemical formula? | A representation of a compound that includes the symbols and numbers of atoms in the compound. |
What is covalent bond? | A type of chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons. |
What is diatomic molecule? | A molecule that has only two atoms of the same element. |
What is energy level? | A region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found. |
What is formula mass? | Determined by adding up the atomic mass units of all the atoms in the compound; a way to compare the masses of molecules of different compounds. |
What is ionic bond? | A type of chemical bond in which electrons are transferred between atoms, converting the atoms in ions. |
What is ion? | An atom, which by the gain or loss of one or more electrons, has an electrical charge. |
What is monoatomic ion? | Ions that contain only one type of atom. |
What is octet? | An atom's eight valence electrons. |
What is polyatomic ion? | Ion that contains more than one type of atom. |
What is polymer? | A large molecule that is composed of repeating smaller molecules called subunits or monomers. |
What is react? | Describes how atoms interact when forming a chemical bond with another atom. |
What is subscript? | A number in a chemical formula that show the number of a type of atom. |
What is valcence electron? | The electrons in an atom that are involved in the formation of chemical bonds. |
What is a binary compound? | A covalent compound that consists of only two types of elements. |
What is oxidation number? | Indicates how many electrons are lost, or gained, or shared when bonding occurs. |
