Cards

Term
atom
Definition

basic building block of matter

measured in nanometers

3 main particles-

electrons

nuetrons

protons

Term
Proton
Definition

positive charge

within nucleus

Term
nuetron
Definition

nuetral

no charge

within nucleus

Term

electrons

 

Definition

negative charge

in electron clouds

Term
valence electrons
Definition

electrons in the outermost electron layer

determine stability

 

2 in first layer

8 in second layer

8 or 18

Term
octet rule
Definition

most atoms will seek 8 valence elctrons

then it will be stable or nonreactive

Term
duet rule
Definition
atoms with only 1 energy level will seek stability with only 2 valence electrons
Term
element
Definition
pure substance
Term
isotope
Definition
same element but different number of nuetrons
Term
molecules
Definition
combination of atoms joined by a covelant bond....share valence electrons
Term
covelant bond
Definition
share electrons

ions
Definition
electrically charged particles
