MOLECULES PART 1
What is Chemistry? | Science that deals with structure of matter |
Matter | Made of atoms, takes up space, and has mass |
Mass | Amount of material in matter; weight w/ gravity |
Atoms | Smallest stable units of matter; retains properties and characteristics of an element |
Subatomic particles | Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons |
Atomic Structure | Nucleus and Electron Cloud |
Nucleus | Center of an atom |
Electron Cloud | Spherical area outside nucleus; contains electrons |
Electron Shell | 2D model of sphere cloud, has layers |
Protons (+) | Positive charge, 1 mass unit(mu) |
Neutrons (n0) | Neutral, 1 mass unit(mu) |
Electrons (-) / (e-) | negative charge, low mass |
Atomic Number | Number of protons in an atom |
Element | Pure substance made of just 1 kind of atoms |
Examples of natural element | Helium(He), Neon(Ne), Sodium/Natrium(Na), Carbon(C) |
Common elements in humans | Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen; OCHN |
Isotopes | Charge # of neutrons; versions of same element which have nuclei containing DIFFERENT # OF NEUTRONS |
Mass number | # of protons + # of neutrons |
Radioisotope | Isotope whose nucleus readily decays; half-life |
Atomic weight | Average of all atomic masses of and elements different isotopes (all versions are added together) |
AMU | atomic mass unit - atomic weight |
Mole (mol) | counting unit, amount of substance that contains 6.022x1023 |
Avogadros number | 6.022 x 1023 = 1 mol |
