Term
valence shell
Definition
The outer most energy level of an atom-only 8 electrons allowed in valence shell ** Octate Law **
Term
Energy Levels
Definition
where electrons are- 7 different energy levels-
level one-2 electrons
level two-8 electrons
level three- 18 electons
level four trhough 7- 32 electrons
Term
anion
Definition
negativly charged ion
Term
cation
Definition
a positivly charged ion
Term
compound
Definition
two or more elements bonded together
Term
chemical formula
Definition
a representation of elements by symbols
ex. H2O= 2 hydrogen and one oxygen aka water
Term
chemically stable
Definition
an element is chemically stable when the valence shell is filled (8 electrons)
Term
chemical bond
Definition
atoms are bound in a molecule usually by an ionic bond, covalent bond, or metallic bond
Term
metallic bond
Definition
The chemical bond characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms in a usually stable crystalline structure
Term
ion
Definition
an atom w/ an electrical charge
Term
ionic bond
Definition
bond in which electrons are either lossed or gained
Term
covalent bond
Definition
bond in which electrons are shared among two or more atoms
Term
polar covalent bond
Definition
In a polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus.
Term
molecular bond
Definition
sharing of electrons between nuclei
Term
hydrogen bond
Definition
A chemical bond in which a hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to an electronegative atom, especially a nitrogen, oxygen, or flourine atom
Term
polar molecule
Definition
an asymmetric molecule with non-uniform positive and negative charges
Term
toxic
Definition
poisonous, harmfull to the body
Term
corrosive
Definition
able to cause corrosion
Term
oxidation number
Definition
the number of electrons theoretically gained or lost in converting an atom or molecule to its elemental form
Term
Binary compound
Definition
only two elements combine to make the compound
Term
Polyatomic ion
Definition
ion w/ 3 or more atoms
Term
physical property
Definition
ex. color, smell, taste
Term
physical change
Definition
change not affecting the chemical composition
Term
Chemical Change
Definition
a change in which a new substance is formed
Term
chemical property
Definition
characteristic depending on the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule
Term
subscript
Definition
number of a certain type of atom in a chemical formula
Term
law of conservation of mass
Definition
matter can not be created or destroyed
Term
products
Definition
chemicals produced by a chemical equation
Term

Definition
chemicals that react
Term
coefficient
Definition
;
Term
balanced chemical equation
Definition
a
Term
superscript
Definition
number above symbol in chemical formula
Term
criss-cross method
Definition
in order to get the number of atoms for each element, you take the opp. charge and bring it down to make the subscript
Term
diatomic molecule
Definition
a molecule haveing 2 atoms
Term
isotope
Definition
an atom w/ more or less neutrons than normal
Term
nucleus
Definition
The positively charged central region of an atom, composed of protons and neutrons
Term
Proton
Definition
positively charged subatomic particle (shown by the atomic number)
Term
Neutron
Definition
neutraly charged subatomic partical * atomic mass minus the number of protons *
Term
Electron
Definition
negitivly charged subatomic partical in the energy levels of an atom
Term
Oxidation State
Definition
** See Oxidation Number **
