1
Neutrons, electrons, and protons have what charge?
neutral, negative, positive
2
mass number=
protons and neutrons
3
atomic number is the
proton
4
the protons and electrons in an uncharged element are
equal
5
isotopes
are two atoms of an element that differ in number of neutrons
6
valance electrons/ valence shell
the electrons on an elements outermost shell
7
The chemical behavior of an atom is
mostly determined by the valence electrons
8
Elements with a full valence shell
are chemically inert or not very reactive
9
covalent bond
the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms
10
the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms
covalent bond
11
In a covalent bond
the shared electrons count as part of each atom’s valence shell
12
molecule
two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
13
Neutrons, electrons, and protons have what charge?
neutral, negative, positive
14
The notation used to represent atoms and bonding is called a (ex H-H), This can be abbreviated further with a molecular formula (ex:H2)
structural formula
15

Covalent bonds can form between
atoms of the same element or different elements
16
valence
bonding capacity
17
bonding capacity
valence
18
electronegativity
an atom’s attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond
19
an atom’s attraction for the electrons in a covalent bond
electronegativity
20
The more electronegative an atom is
the more strongly it pulls shared electrons toward itself
21
nonpolar covalent bond
the atoms share the electron equally
22
the atoms share the electron equally
nonpolar covalent bond
23
polar covalent bond
one atom is more electronegative, and the atoms do not share
the electron equally
24
one atom is more electronegative, and the atoms do not share
the electron equally
polar covalent bond
25
when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom (weakest, temporary bond)
hydrogen bond
26
ionic bonds
strip electrons from their bonding partners
27
strip electrons from their bonding partners
ionic bonds
28
after the transer of electrons during an ionic bond
both elements have charges
29
A charged atom or molecule
ion
30
ion
A charged atom or molecule
31
An ionic bond is an attraction between an
anion and a cation
32
A .... is a positively charged ion

An ... is a negatively charged ion
cation, anion
33
Compounds formed by ionic bonds
ionic compounds, salts
34
ionic compounds, salts
Compounds formed by ionic bonds
35
The starting molecules of a chemical reaction
reactants
36
reactants
The starting molecules of a chemical reaction
37

products
38
when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom (weakest, temporary bond)
hydrogen bond
39
hydrogen bond
when a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom (weakest, temporary bond)
40

element
41
a substance consisting of two or more elements in a fixed ratio
compound
