New cards
3

okay

look at your question of the day from week 11 monday (draw an atom that's not an isotope) because it is a quiz question!

New cards
4

cafe naps

what acronym can you use to remember the trace elements?

New cards
5

sulfur

which trace element is part of SOME amino acids (which make up proteins) and allows bonds to form within the amino acids, which influence the protein's shape

New cards
6

sodium

which trace element is found in SOME amino acids AND is necessary for nerve impulses

New cards
26

neither

which has more electrons... carbon 12 or carbon 14

New cards
27

isotopes

different atomic forms of a given element - the different amount of neutrons affect the element's mass, therefore creating this

New cards
28

8

the second energy level can hold _ electrons

New cards
29

2

the first energy level can hold _ electrons

New cards
30

high energy sub atomic particles are...

New cards
31

right

the intert elements are on the _____ of the periodic table

New cards
32

shell

valence ______ is the outermost electron shell

New cards
33

electrons

valence _______ are the outer electrons in the valence shell

New cards
34

valency

the measure of a given element's bonding capacity with other atoms when it forms compounds/molecules (there are many ways to say this, the answer is the one ending in y for this)

New cards
35

periods

in the periodic table, the rows are called ______

New cards
36

groups

in the periodic table, the columns are called _______

New cards
37

inert

what's another word for nonreactive? fargo will not tell you what it means on the tests/quizzes!

New cards
38

chemical bonds

________ ______: these are formed when valence electrons from different atoms interact with each other forming molecules

New cards
39

electronegativity

the attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond

New cards
40

electronegativity

more electrons = more ______________

New cards
41

covalent ionic strong

c______ and i______ bonds are examples of s______ chemical bonds

New cards
42

covalent

_______ bond: a bond consisting of pairs of shared electrons, polar or nonpolar. this is elements from the same side of the table (i think?)

New cards
43

polar

______ covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the electrons are NOT shared equally

44

polar

H2O is an example of a ______ covalent bond

New cards
45

nonpolar

O2 is an example of a __________ covalent bond

New cards
46

double

__________ covalent bond is a bond in which 2 pairs (OR 4 electrons) are shared

New cards
47

nonpolar

_________ covalent bond: a covalent bond in which the electrons are shared equally

New cards
48

anion

ion with a negative charge

New cards
49

cation

ion with a positive charge

New cards
50

okay

remember cations because cats have paws and are pawsitive!

New cards
51

okay

remember anion because it sounds like onion and that makes you cry which is bad so it's negative

New cards
