Atoms
The smallest unit of matter.
What is an atom?
The number at the bottom of a periodic table square.
What is the atomic mass?
When two or more atoms bond together.
What is a molecule?
What is an extended structure?
This particle makes up the atoms nucleus and has a positive charge.
What is a proton?
These determine what an elements atomic number is.
What are protons?
The attractive force that holds atoms together.
What is a bond?
The form extended structures usually take.
What are crystals?
This particle orbits the atoms nucleus and has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
Atomic Mass - Atomic Number =
What is the formula for finding neutrons?
This occurs when atoms share electrons. Can come in the form of single, double, or triple.
What is a Covalent Bond?
True or False: Extended Structures can only be formed by two distinct elements bonding together.
False: Extended Structures can be formed from atoms of the same element, as well as two different elements.
This particle also makes up the atoms nucleus but has no charge.
What is a neutron?
Elements that share similar properties and all belong to the same column.
What is a group?
This occurs when atoms steal electrons from each other.
What is an ionic bond?
Whereas simple molecules end, extended structures can continue to form indefinitely.
What is the main difference between simple molecules and extended structures?
This is what we call atoms when they have an electric charge.
What is an ion?
The horizontal rows on the periodic table.
What is a period?
This forms when two atoms from different elements bond together.
What is a compound and molecule?
The defining feature of extended structures.
What is repeating patterns?
