Reactions
electrons in the outer shell of an atom
What are valence electrons?
A type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atoms.
What is an ionic bond?
Group of elements that do not react chemically with other elements.
What are noble gases?
a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge
What is a proton?
Subatomic particles whose quantity determines which element an atom is.
What are protons?
a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another
What is a chemical reaction?
a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs
What is a covalent bond?
A material that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and has good electrical and thermal conductivity
What is a metal?
the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element
What is the atomic number?
Element consisting of a single proton.
What is hydrogen?
a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.
What is a double replacement reaction?
An atom or a molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom or molecule a net positive or negative electrical charge.
What is an ion?
A chemical element with properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals
What is a metalloid?
the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element
What is an atom?
The atomic mass of an atom with 5 protons, 6 electrons, and 3 neutrons.
What is eight amu?
energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is photosynthesis?
a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds.
What is a chemical bond?
protons + neutrons
What is atomic mass?
Smallest particles in an atom
What are electrons?
The charge of a neutral atom that gains 2 electrons.
What is negative two?
The charge of an ion.
What is the oxidation number?
Bond formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
What is an ionic bond?
protons - electrons = ???
What is atomic charge?
The number of valence electrons a neutral carbon atom has.
What is four?
Particles that are transferred (given/taken) or shared when two atoms react chemically.
What are electrons?
