100

What makes an extended structure be "extended" or longer?

What is the repetition of a subunit?

100

What elements are seen in the model below? How many atoms of each?

What is carbon and hydrogen?

C=2

H=4

200

2 or more atoms held together by chemical bonds

What is a molecule?

200

(T/F) Atoms and Molecules are the same thing.

False. Atoms makeup molecules, however there should be more than 2 while being bonded.

200

An extended structure is

What is

6 carbon, 8 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

total: 20 atoms

300

A representation of an object that is really big or really small, making these objects easier to see.

300

(T/F) In 3-D models, atoms are represented by spheres and chemical bonds are represented by sticks.

True

300

An extended structure that can repeat atoms or molecules in a 3-D structure

What is a Crystal?

300

Isobutane and butane have the same atomic composition (C4H10), but are used for different things, meaning that they are different substances. What makes them different?

What is chemical structure?

butane has a chain like structure and isobutane has a tripod like structure.

400

The types of elements that makeup molecules and the specific ratio of atoms.

What is atomic composition?

400

What does the 4 tell us in C8H10O4 ?

There are 4 oxygen atoms in this molecule.

400

An extended structure that only repeats molecule in a chain-like structure.

What is a Polymer?

The following image is of 2 different substances, Water (H2O) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). What is different about them?

What is atomic composition?

500

The specific arrangement of atoms within a molecule

What is chemical structure?

500

How many of each atoms AND how many total atoms are in C8H10N4O2?

What is

8 carbons, 10 hydrogens, 4 nitrogens, 2 oxygens

Total of 26 atoms

500

crystal or polymer? explain.

What is a crystal?

1. 3-D Structure
2. repeating one type of atom (Carbon)
500

Correctly label the following extended structures. Explain how you know.

Table salt:

Polyester:

What is...

table salt is a crystal because of it's 3-D, cube structure. Polyester is a polymer because of its chain like structure.
