🗑
In an atom, the number of protons equal the number of electron.   True  
🗑
What is reffered to as an "energy packet"?   Electrons  
🗑
What is found at the center or an atom?   Protons and Neutrons  
🗑
What tiny subparticle(s)orbit around the nucleus of an atom?   Electrons  
🗑
What subparticle determines the chemical behavior (ability to bond) with other atoms?   Electrons  
🗑
This portrays the atom as a miniature solar system.   Planetary model  
🗑
This is equal to the number of protons that the atom contains.   Atomic number  
🗑
The sum of the protons and neutrons.   Atomic mass number (AMU)  
🗑
These are different atomic forms of the same element, they vary only in the number of ELECTRONS they contain.   Isotope(s)  
🗑
This is the simpliest atom and contains one proton and one electron.   Hydrogen(H)  
🗑
These are radioactive isotopes, they emit subatomic particles from their nucleus.   Radioisotope(s)  
🗑
This is an average of the mass numbers of all the isotopes of an element.   Atomic weight  
🗑
This is close to the mass number of the most abundant isotope, and reflects the natural isotope variation.   Atomic weight  
🗑
These are heavy isotopes, they tend to be unstable and decompose to become a more stable isotope.   Radioisotope(s)  
🗑
The process of spontaneous atomic decay is?   Radioactivity  
🗑
Two or more atoms of the same (or different) elements combined chemically are?   Molecules  
🗑
Two or more different elements combined chemically are?   Compounds  
🗑
The process in which molecues are formed, changed or broken down.   Chemical reaction  
🗑
True or false: Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell us complete.   True  
🗑
True or false: Inert elements are chemically inactive.   True  
🗑
Atoms are considered stable when their outermost orbital shell has 8 electrons, this is known as?   The rule of eights  
🗑
In an atom, shell 1 can hold?   A maximum of 2 electrons  
🗑
In an atom, shell 2 can hold?   A maximum of 8 electrons  
🗑
In an atom, shell 3 can hold?   A maximum of 18 electrons  
🗑
In these elements the valence shell is NOT full and they are unstable.   Reactive elements  
🗑
Which shell is the active shell for bonding?   Valence shell  
🗑
When do atoms become ions?   When they are positively or negatively charged  
🗑
This bond is formed by the complete transfer of electron(s) from one atom to another (or others).   Ionic bond  
🗑
Ions are also called?   Electrolytes  
🗑
These ions are negative due to the gain of electron(s).   Anions  
🗑
These ions are positive due to the loss oof electron(s).   Cations  
🗑
Which are the strongest types of bonds?   Covalent bonds  
🗑
What type of bonds are either nonpolar or polar?   Covalent bonds  
🗑
When the electrons are shared equally between the atoms of a molecule and the molecule is electrically neutral, this is known as what?   Nonpolar covalent bond  
🗑
When the electrons have NOT been shared equally between the atoms of a molecule they will have a negative and positive side or pole, this is known as what?   Polar covalent bond  
🗑
What is a classic example of a polar covalent bond?   Water  
🗑
Which type of bond is the weakest?   Chemical bonds  
🗑
When a bond is linking molecules NOT atoms.   Chemical bond  
🗑
What type of bond creates the surface tension of water?   Hydrogen bonds  
🗑
This type of bond provides attraction between molecules, "change differences attract".   Hydrogen bonds  
🗑
In this type of bond the hydrogen (H) is attracted to the negative portion of the polar molecule.   Hydrogen bond  
🗑
What happens during a synthesis reaction?   Atoms or molecules combine and energy is absorbed to form bond formation.  
🗑
A+B-->AB or smaller to larger, is an example of?   Synthesis reaction  
🗑
What happens during a decomposition reaction?   Molecule is broken down and chemical energy id released.  
🗑
AB-->A+B or larger to smaller, is an example of?   Decomposition reaction  
🗑
What happens during an exchange reaction?   Bonds are both made and broken using both synthesis and decomposition reactions, a switch between molecule parts and different molecules are made.  
🗑
AB+C-->AC+B, bonds being made and broken is an example of?   Exhange reactions  
🗑
What is the difference between inorganic and organic compounds?   Organic compounds contain carbon, inorganic compounds do not.  
🗑
Four examples of ORGANIC compounds are?   Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids  
🗑
Four examples of INORGANIC compounds are?   Water, salts, some acids and some bases  
🗑
Water is polar, this means what?   It has a positive and negative region.  
🗑
Which type of compound will pull apart when dropped into water?   Any ionic compound  
🗑
What is the most abundant compound in the body?   Water  
🗑
Four vital properties of water are?   High heat capacity, solvent, chemical reactivity and cushoning
