Question
Answer
Chemical Bonding   the combining of atoms to form molecules or ionic compounds, and also holds the atoms or ions together  
🗑
valence electrons   an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom’s chemical properties  
🗑
ionic bonds   in ionic bonds valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom  
🗑
covalent bond   a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons  
🗑
double   displacement reaction  
🗑
decomposition reaction   a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substance  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   the law that states that mass cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another  
🗑
metallic bond   a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the electrons around them  
🗑
product   a substance that forms in a chemical reaction  
🗑
synthesis reaction   a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound  
🗑
single   displacement reaction  
🗑
reactant   a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction  
🗑
isotope   an atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass)  
🗑
atomic number   number of protons in an atom  
🗑
atoms   no charge, and is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same element  
🗑
diatomic molecule   two atoms of the same element  
🗑
electrons   not all electrons in an atom make chemical bonds, can be found in the outermost energy level  
🗑
proton    
🗑
neutron    
🗑
period   row of elements  
🗑
group/family   column of elements  
🗑
Dmitri Mendeleev   russian chemist, who arranged the elements in order of atomic mass  
🗑
Henry Mosely   1914 changed the arrangement of the elements on the table, he put them in order of increasing atomic number because there were some flaws in Mendeleev’s arrangement  
🗑
atomic mass   tells us how many protons plus neutrons in one atom of the element  
🗑
nonmetals   not ductile or malleable, usually not shiny, not good conductors of heat and electricity  
🗑
metalloids   properties of both metals and nonmetals, also called semiconductors, have about half of a complete set of electrons in outer energy level  
🗑
metals   solid at room temperature except for mercury, have few electrons in outer energy level, shiny, ductile, malleable, good conductors of heat and electricity  
🗑
noble gas   nonmetals, valence electrons: 8, except helium has 2, not reactive, colorless, odorless gases at room temperature, 1% of earth’s atmosphere, light bulbs, blimps, weather balloons, used to make colored lights  
🗑
Alkali metals   contains metals, 1 valence electron, very reactive, shared properties are soft, silver, colored, shiny, low density, ex. of compounds made with these elements sodium chloride and potassium bromide  
🗑
Alkaline earth metals   contains metals, valence electrons 2, second most reactive metals, other shared properties: silver colored and more dense than alkali metals, ex. of compounds with these elements: magnesium compounds in airplanes, cement, and chalk  
🗑
Lanthanides   transition metals, shininess, reactive, used to make steel and are used in computer monitors  
🗑
Actinides   transition metals, radioactive or unstable, made into laboratories; don’t occur in nature  
🗑
boron family   1 metalloid and 4 metals, valence electrons: 3, reactive, solids at room temperature, most abundant element in earth’s crust, used to make auto parts, foil, cans, and siding  
🗑
carbon family   1 nonmetal, 2 metalloids, and 2 metals, valence electrons: 4, reactivity varies among elements, solids at room temperature, makes diamonds and is in bio  
🗑
nitrogen family   2 nonmetals, 2 metalloids, 1 metal, valence electrons: 5, reactivity varies among the elements, solids at room temperature (except for nitrogen) , 80% of air, fertilizers  
🗑
oxygen family   3 nonmetals, 1 metalloid, 1 metal, valence electrons: 6, reactive, solids at room temperature (except oxygen), 20% of air, necessary of burning and for most living organisms  
🗑
halogens   nonmetals, valence electrons: 7, very reactive, poor conductors, violent reactions with alkali metals to form salts, never found uncombined in nature, salt, disinfectants water treatment, disinfectant  
🗑
hydrogen family   nonmetals, valence electrons: 1, reactive, colorless, odorless gas at room temperature, low density, explosive reactions with oxygen, found in stars, most abundant element in the universe, used for rocket fuel  
🗑
Gilbert Lewis   though of the theory that each bond is made up of two electrons and that they are shared gained or lost and that chemical bonds are holding the atoms together  
🗑
Octet rule   Remember that all atoms want a FULL OUTER ENERGY LEVEL (8 valence electrons) in order to be like a noble gas, REMEMBER THAT EIGHT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!  
🗑
cations   positively charged ions  
🗑
anions   negatively charged ions  
🗑
   
🗑
Nucleus   two or more nuclei that have small masses combine, or fuse, to form a larger nucleus  
🗑
Electron   no charge  
🗑
