1
New cards
Atom
made of protons and neutrons in a nucleus and electrons orbiting the nucleus.
2
New cards
reason for atoms having diff characteristics
Atoms of different elements have different characteristics because of different amounts of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
3
New cards
Neutral Atom
same amount of protons and electrons, neutrally charged
4
New cards
Ion
different numbers of electrons than original
5
New cards
Cation
type of ion where atom has more protons than electrons, positively charged
6
New cards
Anion
type of ion where atom has more electrons than protons, negatively charged
7
New cards
Isotope
different number of neutrons
8
New cards
Intramolecular bonds
hold atoms together within a molecule
9
New cards
Intermolecular bonds
bond that exists between molecules
10
New cards
are intramolecular or intermolecular bonds stronger?
intramolecular

12
New cards
compound
**different types of atoms chemically bonded (CaCl2 or NaBr)**
13
New cards
covalent bonds
formed when non metal atoms share their valence electrons to gain octets (a full valence shell)
14
New cards
ionic bonds
one atom gives up electron to another atom
15

25
New cards
Atomic Mass
Unrounded number of the mass of an atom
26
New cards
Valence electrons
Electrons in the outer shell of an atom
27
New cards
Polarity
atoms being positively and negatively charged
28
New cards
Cohesion
Molecules of the same substance bonding
29
New cards
Adhesion
Molecules of different substances bonding
30
New cards
capillary action
The ability water has to flow upward against the force of gravity due to cohesion and adhesion.
31
New cards
universal solvent
Universal Solvent - liquid that dissolves most/all solutes **(water)**
32
New cards
solvent
a liquid that dissolves a particle
33
New cards
