Basic Chemistry and Chemical Bonding

QuestionAnswer
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
