New cards

Atom

fundamental constituent of matter that retains the properties of an element/ the smallest unit that has a unique identity

2
New cards

Periodic table

There are 118 elements arraigned in the this(the table of elements expressed as columns and rows), starting with hydrogen(has one proton) and increasing proton numbers for each subsequent element

3
New cards

Proton

positively charged atomic particle

4
New cards

protons, neutrons, electrons

Although atoms have distinct properties, all are composed of the same three subatomic particles:

5
New cards

Neutrons

atomic particle with no electric charge

6
New cards

Electrons

negatively charged atomic particle

7
New cards

Atoms

These undergo chemical reactions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve stability/ their properties can be inferred by its position on the periodic table

8
New cards

Valence electrons

An atom's properties relate to the numbers of these in the atom's outermost shell

9
New cards

Atoms

These can lose, gain, or share electrons to make a variety of chemical bonds of varying strengths and properties

10
New cards

Nucleus

Atoms have a structure consisting of this(central part of an atom that contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons

11
New cards

Electrons

Surrounding the atom's nucleus are negatively charged these which exist in an electron cloud surrounding the nucleus

12
New cards

Protons

The negative electrons are held in shells- or energy levels- by their attraction to the positively charged these in the nucleus and increase in energy with distance from the nucleus

13
New cards

Protons

Each type of atom will always have the same number of these

14
New cards

6

How many protons does carbon have in

15
New cards

Isotopes

The number of neutrons in different atoms of the same element can vary, and these atoms are called these/atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same numbers of protons and electrons

16
New cards

Atomic mass

the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in one atom of an element/ is determined by the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus

17
New cards

Electrons

These are so small their mass does not significantly add to the mass of the atom

18
New cards

12 atomic mass units(amu)

Carbon atom: 6 protons + 6 neutrons=

19
New cards

Isotope carbon

A carbon with 7 neutrons is what. They would end up with an atomic mass(amu) of 13(6 protons + 7 neutrons)

20
New cards

Atomic number

The number of protons gives this of an atom

21
New cards

Atomic mass

The numbers of protons plus neutrons equals the this of the atom

22
New cards

Neutral atoms

These have equal numbers of protons and electrons

23
New cards

Neutrons

the particles of the nucleus that have no charge

24
New cards

Proton

positively charged particle(+1) and has an amu of 1

25
New cards

Neutron

no charge particle and has an amu of 1

26
New cards

Electron

negatively charged particle(-1) and has an amu of 0

27
New cards

Ions

atoms with a positive or negative charge

28
New cards

Lose

sodium(Na) atom is made up of 11 protons and 12 neutrons in its nucleus and 11 electrons surrounding the nucleus. Because it has a single electron in its outer shell, sodium is likely to lose or gain an electron

29
New cards

Na+ (It has a positive charge because it now has more protons than electrons)

A sodium atom that has lost an electron becomes a charged sodium ion and is written how

30
New cards

Gain

Chlorine(Cl) atom has 17 protons and either 18 or 20 neutrons in its nucleus, and 17 electrons in the cloud around its nucleus. Because a chlorine atom has a nearly full outer shell, it is likely to lose or gain an electron

31
New cards

Cl-

A chlorine atom that has gained an electron becomes a charged chlorine ion and is written how

32
New cards

Periodic table

arranges atoms from left to right by increasing atomic number(number of protons)

33
New cards

Atoms

These are neutral, so the number of protons equals the number of orbiting electrons

34
New cards

Integer

The atomic number is shown as this in the periodic table

35
New cards

The element

To identify the number of electrons and protons, look at the integer shown with what

36
New cards

Isotopes

Atomic masses on the periodic table are shown in decimal form to account for the natural abundance of the element's various what

37
New cards

Atomic mass

This shown on the periodic table is determined by the percentage of each isotope found in nature for that particular atom

38
New cards

Groups

The periodic table puts elements with similar properties in the same vertical columns called these(column of elements on the periodic table

39
New cards

Valence(bonding) electrons

This grouping of atoms by properties reflects the fact that the elements in each group have the same number of these

40
New cards

Periods

The rows in the periodic table are referred to as these(one of seven horizontal rows in the periodic tables), and they indicate the outermost shell of an atom

41
New cards

Orbitals

Depending on the number of the period, there are different numbers of these(an area around the nucleus where an electron can be found) that can accommodate different electron numbers

42
New cards

2

an s orbital can accommodate a maximum of how many electrons at a time

43
New cards

S orbital

This orbital is closest to the nucleus

44
New cards

Hydrogen and helium

These elements only have an s orbital that can hold a total of two electrons

45
New cards

Periods

These represent large electron highways with multiple orbital lanes

46

56
New cards

Valence electrons

electrons are in the outermost shell of an atom and participate in chemical reactions(or bonding)

57
New cards

stability

Because atoms are most stable when they have a full valence shell, atoms are most likely to move toward what

58
New cards

Nobel gases

like helium and neon, these have full valence shells and are quite stable. They do not react with other atoms because they are so stable. Because they are stable, they are also called inert gases

59
New cards

Ions

Other atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve full valence shells, forming charged atoms called what

60
New cards

Nonmetals

Gaining electrons typically happens in atoms with valences greater than 4-usually these(any element or substance that is not a metal)

61
New cards

Metals

losing electrons typically happens in atoms with valences greater than less than 4-usually these(a substance that is a good conductor of electricity and heat, forms cations by loss of electrons, and yields basic oxides and hydroxides)

69
New cards

Electrons

Atoms can also share these to achieve stability

70
New cards

Covalent bonds

It takes two electrons to make one bond, so there are known as what(a chemical bond in which electron pairs are shared between atoms)- They are typically formed between two p-block elements
