The ability to do work/function
Energy
The control center of a cell and where genetic info is stored
Nucleus
A column on the periodic table
whats an Anion
what do you do when using charges to criss cross
reduce to lowest terms
Energy that is held by an object and ready to realse
Potential Energy
An Atom
A row on the periodic table
A Period
What is a Cation
what are the charges when forming ions
Cations form from the loss of electrons and have a positive charge while anions form through the gain of electrons and have a negative charge
Kinetic Energy
The area around an atom where you can find electrons
Electron Cloud
A chemical element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals
Metalloid
what is Covalent compounds
molecules that form when two different atoms form a covalent bond.
what do you do when using parentheses in naming transition metals
determine the ionic charge on the metal and use roman numerals to indicate the charge on the transition metal.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Law of Conservation of Energy
An atom that has a different number of neutrons as the neutral atom.
Isotope
The electrons in the outer most shell of an atom
Valence Electrons
what is Lewis dot structure
a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule
what is prefixes in covalent naming
To indicate the number of atoms in an element
Chemical reaction where a substance and oxygen produce heat and/or light
Combustion
The patterns of electron density that may be formed in an atom or molecule
Orbital
The amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom/molecule
Electron Affinity
what is conductivity
the measure of the ease at which an electric charge or heat can pass through a material.
what is polyatomic ion
an ion composed of more than one atom.
