Question
Answer
Acid   a substance that yields hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water.  
🗑
Alkali Metals   Group 1A - Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr  
🗑
Alkaline earth metals   Group 2A - Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra  
🗑
Allotrope   one of the 2 or more distinct forms of an element - ex O2 and O3 are allotropes of Oxygen  
🗑
Alpha Particles   positively charged particles  
🗑
Alpha Rays   rays composed of alpha particles  
🗑
Anion   an ion whose net charge is negative - Chloride ion (Cl-)  
🗑
Atom   the basic unit of an element that can enter into a chemical combination  
🗑
Atomic Number (Z)   the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element. Oxygen's atomic number is 8.  
🗑
Base   a substance that yields hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.  
🗑
Beta Particles   electrons  
🗑
Beta Rays   rays composed of electrons  
🗑
Binary Compound   compounds formed from just 2 elements - the 1st element is the metal cation and the 2nd element is the non-metal anion. (NaCl)  
🗑
Cation   an ion with a positive net charge (Na+ is sodium cation)  
🗑
Chemical Formula   express the composition of molecules and ionic compounds in terms of chemical symbols  
🗑
Diatomic Molecule   contains only 2 atoms, they can be of the same or different elements. H, N, O F, Cl, Br and I exist naturally as diatomic molecules. CO, HCl are ex.of diatomic mol. of different elements  
🗑
Electron   negatively charged particles  
🗑
Empirical Formula   tells us which elements are present and the simplest whole number ratio of their atoms - not nec. the actual  
🗑
Families   vertical columns of the Periodic Table  
🗑
Gamma Rays   rays made up of neutral particles.  
🗑
Groups   Same as families- vertical columns of the Periodic Table  
🗑
Halogens   Group 7A - F, Cl, Br, I and At  
🗑
Hydrate   compounds that have a specific number of H2O molecules attached to them.  
🗑
Inorganic Compounds   compound that generally does not contain Carbon - ionic compounds, acids, bases and hydrates  
🗑
Ion   an atom or group of atoms that has a net positive or negative charge  
🗑
Ionic Compound   compound formed by cations and anions  
🗑
Isotope   atoms that have the same atomic numbers but different mass numbers (have the same protons but different neutrons)  
🗑
Law of conservation of mass   matter is neither created nor destroyed  
🗑
Law of definite proportions   different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent in the same proportion by mass. ex - CO2 from different places would always have the same ratio of C to O  
🗑
Law of multiple proportions   if 2 elements can combine to form more than 1 compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small whole numbers. ex. CO and CO2  
🗑
Mass Number (A)   the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
Metal   is a good conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
Metalloid   had properties that are intermediate between those of metals and non-metals  
🗑
Molecular Formula   shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance H2O  
🗑
Molecule   an aggregate of at least 2 atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical forces (bonds)  
🗑
Monatomic Ion   Ions that contain only 1 atom  
🗑
Neutron   neutral particle  
🗑
Noble Gases   Group 8A - non-reactive gases- He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn - only elements that exist in nature as single atoms  
🗑
Nonmetal   poor conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
Nucleus   dense central core of an atom  
🗑
Organic Compound   contain Carbon  
🗑
Oxoacid   acids that contain hydrogen, oxygen and another (central) element. Written with H first then central element then O - ex. HNO3 - nitric acid  
🗑
oxoanion   anions of oxoacids  
🗑
Periods   Horizontal Row of the Periodic Table  
🗑
Periodic Table   chart in which elements having similar chemical and physical properties are grouped together  
🗑
Polyatomic ion   ions containing more than 1 atom (OH-) - hydroxide Ion  
🗑
Polyatomic molecule   molecule containing more than 2 atoms  
🗑
Proton   positively charged particle  
🗑
Radiation   the emission and transmission of energy through space in the form of waves.  
🗑
Radioactivity   spontaneous emission of particles and  
🗑
or radiation    
🗑
Structural Formula   shows how atoms are bonded to one another in a molecule - H2O would be shown as H-O-H  
🗑
Ternary formula   compounds consisting of 3 elements  
🗑
Anhydrous   the hydrate no longer has H2O attached to it.  
🗑
   
🗑
