| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Orbital | is a 3D region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron |
| Law of Conservation of Mass | During a chemical reaction, mass cannot be created or destroyed. This is represented by a balance chemical reaction/equation. |
| Covalent Bond | Sharing of electrons betwen atoms. non-metal + non-metal bonded. Uses PRefixes like tri, deca, and nona. |
| Ionic Bond | The complete transfer of electrons from 1 atom to another. This is a metal + non-metal. On Transition metal you use Roman #s. |
| Products | Substances formed during a chemical reaction |
| Reactants | The starting substances of a chemcal reaction. |
| Molar Mass | Is the mass in grams of 1 mol of a substance |
| Polyatomic ion | composed of more than 1 ion such as NO |
| Molecular Weight | The mass in grams of an atom, diatiomic, or a molecule. |
| Borh Model | A discription of the structure of am atom. the electrons are in orbitals, and the protons and neutrons are in the center nucleus. |
| Avogadro's Number | The number of particles in 1 mole. 6.03 X 10^23 particles (atoms or molecules) |
| Moles | A standard of units for measuring large quantities of small entities like atoms or molecules. |
| Elements | chemicals that cannot be broken down into smaller substances, found on the Periodic Table. |
| Molecules | Atoms bonded to another atom. Can be covalent like HCl or ionic like NaCl. |
| Diatomic | Composed of two of the same atoms. |
| Decomposition | Compounds break down into simpler substances. AB -> A + B |
| Synthesis | Two or more elements of compounds combine to make a more complex substance A + B -> AB |
| Single Replacement | Occurs when one element replaces another one in a compounds. AB + C -> AC + B |
| Double Replacement | Occurs when different atoms in two different compounds trade places. AB + CD -> AC + BD |
| Combustion | A reaction of a carbon based compound with oxygen and products Carbon dioxide and water. |
