QuestionAnswer
What is the basic unit of matter Atom
If an atomic nucleus were the size of a marble, the entire atom would be the size of an atom. True of False? True
Most of the mass of an atom is in it's- Nucleus
Most of the size (volume) of an atom is filled by it's- Electrons
The nucleus is made up of ______ with a positive charge. And ________ with no charge. PROTONS with a positive charge. And NUETRONS with no charge.
________are negatively charged particles that surround the nucleus like a cloud. Electrons
________are pure substances, that consist entirely of one type of atom. Elements
______are represented by one or two letter symbols. Elements
Iso=_______ and Tope=_______. Iso= same and Tope= place
So_______share the same place on the periodic table. Isotopes
Atoms of the same element that differ in their number of neutrons. Isotopes
Because isotopes have the same number of electrons, they share the same_______. chemical properties
Unstable isotopes are called____________. Radio active isotopes
Radio active isotopes are unstable which means that they___________or change into other__________at a___________over time. Radio active isotopes are unstable which means that they BREAK DOWN or change into other ISOTOPES at a PREDICTABLE over time.
Radio active isotopes are used to ____________________. Determine the ages of rocks and fossils.
A substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in definite proportions. Compound
Scientist use ________to indicate the __________of compounds. Chemical formulas, and Chemical composistions
Coumpounds are often__________Than any of the elements that make it up. Different chemicaly
The______and________of the bonds that hold different compounds together are_________and_______. Types and Strengths, are Varied and Complex
The bonds largely determine the_____________. Nature of chemical compounds.
Bond formation involves electrons that are___________. Available to form bonds.
The electrons that are available for bond formation. Valence electrons
Main types of chemical bonds are______and______. Ionic, and Covalent
Ionic bonds are formed when- One or more electrons are transferred.
That atom that has extra electrons is now- Negatively charged
The atom that has fewer electrons is now- Positevely charged
The_____and_______charged atoms are attracted to one another like tiny magnets. Negatively and Positively
Are formed when pairs of electrons are shared. Covalent bonds
Molecules form when- Atoms are joined together by covalent bonds.
Small charges that attract oppositely charged parts of nearby molecules. Van der Waals forces
A large number of these________________can add up to an____________. Relatively weak bonds, and Important effect

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
