Nuclear
Two subatomic particles that have mass
What are protons and neutrons?
Attraction between two atoms that have opposite electric charges
What are ionic bonds?
-1
What is the electric charge of an electron?
The shape of an atom's bonding angles, which is sharing in four single bonds
What is tetrahedral?
The kind of electric charge found on atoms because they are participating in polar covalent bonds; e.g. both oxygen and hydrogen in a water molecule are ________ charged
What is a partial charge?
The property of an atom that is defined by how many protons it has
What is the atomic number?
or
What is the element an atom is?
Covalent bonds
What are attractions between atoms that are sharing electrons?
Effectively zero
What is the mass of an electron?
The shape of an atom's bonding angles, that is sharing two double bonds (e.g. Carbon in CO2)
What is linear?
Energy that is stored up, not in use at the moment
What is potential energy?
Electric charge of zero
What is the charge of a neutron?
The weakest type of "bond," these attractions can occur between any two atoms (charged or not), because of brief moments when electrons happen to be more concentrated on one side of the atom or the other.
What are Van der Waal's forces?
The concept of electrons spending most of their time in a fuzzily-defined space around the nucleus of an atom.
What is the electron cloud?
The shape of an atom's bonding angles that is sharing two single bonds and a double bond
What is trigonal planar?
The event that occurs when an atom splits apart because it has a unstable nuclear configuration
What is radioactive decay?
Atomic mass formula
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as?
The type of bond that forms between oxygen and hydrogen atoms of DIFFERENT water molecules
What is a hydrogen bond?
The outermost electron shell of an atom's electron cloud
What is the valence shell?
A molecule (or class of molecules) that mimics the molecular shape of endorphins, alleviating pain
What is morphine?
or
What are opioids?
The electric charge of a calcium ion after it has lost the electron or electrons that would have been in its valence shell in its metallic form
What is +2?
Two atoms of the same element, but which have different numbers of neutrons
What are isotopes?
Carbon and Hydrogen would share this kind of covalent bond
What is a non-polar covalent bond?
The original position of an electron, not having "jumped" out to a shell farther from the nucleus.
What is the ground state?
Function
What is structure important to?
The number of neutrons in the average Beryllium atom
What is 5?
