intro: Matter, Energy, and Measurement
Where are protons and neutrons located?
In the nucleus
Where is the electron located?
could around nucleus
What kind of charge does a proton have?
postive
What kind of charge does an electron have?
negative
Neutron has a charge of?
0
What are atoms?
smallest unit all matter that still retains distinct characteristics
What makes one element different from another?
the number of protons it contains
Atomic number equals?
the number of protons = the number of electrons
What are isotopes
atoms with identical atomic number but it has a different number of neutrons and mass
What is mass spectrometry?
Sampleis ionized using an electron beam
Rows are called?
periods
Columns are called
groups
Groups are elements that share similar
properties
What are metals?
luster,electircal conductance, heat conductance, all solids at room temperature
What are non metals
differs in appearance; not good conductors of heat or electricity; some gasses, some solids, and some liquids at rom temperature
What are metalloids?
properties of metals and nonmetals
Chemicals formulas-
number and type of atoms
What is chemicals formula?
symbols from the periodic table show the type of atom. Subscripts show the exact number of each
Molecues and Molecular compounds?
Molecules contain 2 or more atoms most only contains nonmetals
Molecular formula H2O
shows actual number and types of atoms in molecules
what are diatomic molecules?
molecules that contains only 2 atoms
