The group (columns)
What is a molecule? Give an example of one.
Two or more atoms chemically bonded together
Examples: O2, NaCl, CO2, N2
The part of the periodic table that tells you how many energy levels an element has.
The period (rows)
What is an covalent compound? Give an example of one.
A molecule made of at least two different elements sharing electrons. (Usually two nonmetals).
Examples: CO2, H2O, NO2
Two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
Isotope
When nonmetals combine with metals, ___ bonds form.
What is ionic?
Draw a helium atom and label the positive, negative, and neutrally charged subatomic particles with their correct name.
How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the most common isotope of nitrogen have based on the periodic table.
Nitrogen:
Protons: 7
Neutrons:7
Electrons:7
What are positively charged ions called? What type of elements form cations (metals or nonmetals) when bonded?
Cations, Metals
An element that gains or loses electrons becoming charged.
Ion
What are the most common elements on the periodic table (metal, nonmentals, metalloids)?
Metals
A polar molecule has an uneven distribution of electrons, meaning one side of the molecule is slightly positive and the other side is slightly negative
A nonpolar molecule has an even distribution of electrons, with no distinct positive or negative poles
How many valence electrons can the third energy level hold (2n2)?
18 electrons
Draw a valence dot diagram showing the reaction between sodium and chlorine to form sodium chloride.
