Term
Matter
Definition
Anything with mass and takes up space
Term
Element
Definition
A Pure substance: made up of only one kind of atom. (H)
Term
Molecule
Definition
A group of the same ataoms bound together in a group
Term
Compound
Definition
A group of two or more different types of atoms bonded together. (H20) 3/4 the body weight.
Term
Parts of an Atom
Definition

Smallest unit of matter

 

Made up of the following:

 

Nucleus- central core of an atom and conains subatomic particles.

 

Proton- Positively charged particle in the nucleus

 

Nuetron- uncharged particles in the nucleus.

Term

Atomic

Number

Definition
Number of protons in nucleus
Term

Atomic

Mass

Definition
Number of protons and nuetron in the nucleus combined.
Term

Atom

Energy

Levels

Definition

Orbital regions surrounding atomic nucleus that contain electrons.

 

Electron- negatively charged particle found surrounding the nucleus.

 

Each energy level can hold a maximum number of electrons.

 

1st Level- 2 Electrons

2nd Level- 8 Electrons- same for all other levels.

Term
Chemical Bonding
Definition

Chemical bonds form to make atoms more stable by making their outer energy levels full.

 

-Atoms may share electrons, donate electrons, or borrow electrons them to become stable.

 

-To seperate a compound requires a chemical raction (Test Question)

Term
Ions
Definition

Elements that carry an electrical charge.

 

This inclused cations, anions, and electrolytes.

Term
Cation
Definition
Positively Charged ion.
Term
Anion
Definition
Negatively Charged ion
Term
Electrolytes
Definition
Form ions when dissolved in water. Only electrolytes can ionize.
Term
NaCl
Definition

Sodium Chloride

 

-Dissolved in H20

Term

Types of

Chemical Bonds

Definition

Ionic

Covalent

Hydrogen

Term
Ionic Chemical Bond
Definition
Caused by a transfer of electrons between atoms.
Term
Covalent Chemical Bond
Definition
Electrons are shared by the outer shells of atoms. Covalent bonds are strong.
Term
Hydrogen Chemical Bonding
Definition
Positive and negative charges are weakly attracted to form a bond.
