What make up atoms?
Definition
Basic unit of matter

Subatomic particles that are neutrons, electrons and protons
Term
Electron
Definition
Negatively charged particle
Term
What forms the nucleus?
Definition
Protons and neutrons
Term
Atoms have ________ amount of protons and neutrons. Because of this, atoms are always: ________.
Definition
(1) Equal
(2)Neutral
Term
What is an element?
Definition
A pure substance that consists of one type of atom.
Term
What is an isotope?
Definition
Same element with different amount of neutrons.
Term
What is the mass number?
Definition
Sum of the number of protons and neutrons
Term
Do isotopes have the same chemical properties?
Definition
Yes, because they have the same number of electrons
Term
What is a compound?
Definition
Combination of 2 or more elements. Example- water, H2O
Term
What are the 3 chemical bonds you learn about?
Definition
(1) Ionic
(2) Covalent
(3) Van der Waals
Term
What are Ionic Bonds?
Definition
One or more electron is transfered from one atom to another. This creates a 1 positively and one negatively charged atom.
Term
What are covalent bonds?
Definition
When atoms share electrons.
Term
What makes water polar?
Definition
The uneven distribution of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
Oxygen=negative hydrogen=positive
Term
What does it mean for water to be polar?
Definition
The molecule acts like a magnet with other poles.
Term
What are hydrogen bonds?
Definition
Not very strong bonds but are from the polarity of the partial negative and partial positive charges.
Term
__________ are very important because they are critical to giving water their major properties.
Definition
Hydrogen Bonds
Term
Cohesion
Definition
Attraction of molecules between the same substance
Term
Adhesion
Definition
Attraction of molecules between different substances
Term
