| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| all matter, living or non-living, is made up of | atoms |
| atoms have a nucleus containing ______ _______ and _________ __________ | positive protons, neutral neutrons |
| _________ ___________ travel around the nucleus in orbitals or shells | negative electrons |
| high energy electrons with be closer/farther from the nucleus | farther |
| an electron's level depends upon its _________ | energy |
| H₂0 | water molecule |
| CO₂ | carbon dioxide molecule |
| shell with a 2 electron maximum | K |
| shell with an 8 electron maximum | L |
| energy is absorbed as an electron moves from a ____________ to a _________ orbital | low energy, high energy |
| composed of only one kind of | element |
| listed by symbols on the periodic table | element |
| carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are examples of | elements |
| two or more kinds of atoms combined in a definite proportion | compounds |
| H₂O and CO₂ are also known as | compounds |
| sharing of electrons form a _____________ bond | covalent |
| most compounds are made of: | molecules |
| smallest part of a compound that still retain properties of the compound | molecules |
| two or more atoms chemically bonded together | molecule |
| elements in a compound always occur in a _________ ____________ | definite proportion |
| proportions of elements in a molecule of a compound are designated by _______________ in a chemical formula | subscripts |
| the number of molecules present is designated with a ___________ | coefficient (4 C₆H₁₂0₆) the 4 is the coefficient |
| structural formulas show the ______________ of atoms in space | orientation |
| the number on top of an element in the periodic table | atomic number |
| the large letter in an element in the periodic table | symbol |
| the number on the bottom of an element in the periodic table | mass number |
| the number of protons | atomic number |
| an element is determined by: | atomic number |
| elements are listed in rows on the periodic table according to _______________ ______________ ________________ | increasing atomic number |
| rows of elements have the same number of _____________ | shells |
| the nucleus containing protons and neutrons makes up most of the _________ of the element | mass |
| mass number = | protons + neutrons |
| atoms of the same element will have the same number of protons but there might be a different number of _______________ or ________________ | neutrons, electrons |
| varieties of the same element | isotopes |
| same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons will change the: | mass number |
| oxygen 16, 17, and 18 are examples of | isotopes |
| unstable nuclei sometimes emit radiation which can be traced and measured are known as | radioisotopes |
| radioisotypes are often used as _____________ ______________ to detect abnormalities in size, shape, or function of an organ | medical tracers |
| tritium (hydrogen-3) is an example of ________________ | radioisotope |
| outermost electrons which determine the element's behavior or properties | valence electrons |
| ___________ on the periodic table represent families of elements with the same number of valence electrons and this similar properties | columns |
| only the valence electrons participate in ______________ | bonding |
| an atom is most stable when its outermost electron ring or shell is full | octet rule |
| atoms will bond accordingly to achieve ______________ | stability |
| bonding patterns are determined by the number of: | valence electrons |
| atoms are most stable when their outer electron shell is: | full |
| elements with ____ or less valence electrons will tend to lose electrons | 3 |
| elements with 5,6, or 7 electrons will gain the needed amount to achieve a stable ____ configuration | 8 |
| atoms will lose, gain, or ________ electrons to achieve stability | share |
| Na (sodium) has 1 electron and Cl (chloride) has 7. what will happen with the electrons | sodium will lose its electron to chloride to form salt |
| When sodium loses an electron it ends up with 11 protons and 10 electrons which gives it a positive charge. This is known as a | positively charged ion |
| when a chlorine gains an electron it becomes a | negatively charged ion |
| ions with opposite charges are attracted to one another in what is called an | ionic bond |
| ionic bonds form ___________ | crystals |
| sodium giving up an electron to chlorine to produce sodium chloride is an example of | ionic bonding |
| when electrons are transferred from one atom to another to create positive and negative ions which are then attracted to each other is known as | ionic bonding |
| when atoms SHARE electrons such that each completes its outermost ring of electrons is known as a | covalent bond |
| an example of a covalent bond is: | water |
| for each covalent bond formed, a pair of ___________ is shared between two atoms | electrons |
| if two pairs of electrons are shared (four total) then a ___________ __________ exists | double bond |
| an example of a double bond is | carbon dioxide |
| if three pairs of electrons (6 total) are shared then a ________ _________ is formed | triple bond |
| an example of a triple bond is: | a molecule of nitrogen |
| when two atoms of the same element covalently bond together, a ___________ _____________ is formed | diatomic molecule |
| when atoms lose or gain electrons _______ form | ions |
| oppositely charged ions ____________ and form _______ _________ | attract ionic bonds |
| when atoms share electrons to meet the octet rule and complete their outer shell, _________ ___________ are formed | covalent |
