78 Terms

1

Matter

The substance of which all physical objects are made.

New cards
2

Physical property

A characteristic that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's identity.

New cards
3

Extensive properties

Depend on the amount of matter (e.g., mass, volume).

New cards
4

Intensive properties

Do not depend on the amount of matter (e.g., density, temperature).

New cards
5

Chemical property

A property that can only be observed by changing the chemical identity of the substance.

New cards
6

Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

New cards
7

Mixture

New cards
8

Parts of an atom

New cards
9

Atomic number

The number of protons in an atom.

New cards
10

New cards
11

Isotope

Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

New cards
12

Calculate atomic mass

Multiply the mass of each isotope by its percent abundance, then add the values % divide by 100.

New cards
13

Quantum theory

Energy is quantized, meaning it exists in discrete units.

New cards
14

Quantum Mechanical Model

A model of the atom where electrons are found in orbitals, not fixed paths.

New cards
15

Electron configuration

The arrangement of electrons in an atom's electron shells.

New cards
18

Similar properties in groups

They have the same number of valence electrons.

New cards
19

Electronegativity

A measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

New cards
20

Ionic bond

A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

New cards
21

Cation

A positively charged ion, formed when an atom loses electrons.

New cards
22

Anion

A negatively charged ion, formed when an atom gains electrons.

New cards
23

Properties of ionic compounds

High melting points, good conductors of electricity in molten or dissolved form.

New cards
24

Metallic bonding

A type of bonding where electrons are free to move, explaining properties of metals like electrical conductivity.

New cards
25

Octet Rule

Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full set of eight valence electrons.

New cards
26

Covalent bonding

A bond formed when two atoms share electrons.

New cards
27

Sigma and pi bonds

Sigma bonds are formed by head-on overlapping of orbitals; pi bonds form by side-to-side overlapping.

New cards
28

Polar covalent bond

A bond where electrons are shared unevenly, causing a dipole.

New cards
29

Nonpolar covalent bond

A bond where electrons are shared equally between atoms.

New cards
30

Lewis Dot Structures

Represent atoms with their valence electrons, and use lines to represent bonds.
