The Atom | Bonding | The Periodic Table | Chemical Reactions | Potpourri |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is the nucleus?
Rutherford used gold foil to discover this part of the atom.
|
What is Li3N?
The chemical Formula for Lithium Nitride
|
What are groups/families?
This is the name for the column of elements on the periodic table
|
What is the octet rule?
This rule describes the tendency of atoms to want 8 electrons in their outer energy level in order to be more stable.
|
What is 6 and (picture)?
The electron Dot diagram for Oxygen has this many dots and looks like this
|
What is the plum pudding model? (Dalton's Model)
This model of the atom has electrons evenly spaced out evenly throughout the entire atom.
|
What is (draw a picture)?
What two oxygen atoms look like when bonded to one Carbon atom.
|
What is Atomic Mass?
Mendeleev arranged his periodic table according to this property. The periodic table is now arranged by atomic number.
|
What is a catalyst?
This is a chemical that will speed up a chemical reaction, but will not be altered during the reaction.
|
What is increase?
If you increase the temperature of a reaction, the reaction rate will do this.
|
What is the electron?
A cathode ray was used to discover this part of the atom.
|
What is electronegativity?
The measure of how much an atom attracts electrons
|
What are halogens?
These elements are all found in group 17 of the periodic table
|
What is Temperature, Surface Area, and Concentration?
These are the main three factors that can control the reaction rate of a chemical reaction.
|
What is an inhibitor?
A substance that slows down a chemical reaction.
|
What is 25?
If an atom has an atomic number of 17 and and atomic mass of 42 it will have this many neutrons.
|
What is a metallic Bond?
The type of bond that is formed when atoms create a pool (sea) of electrons
|
What are alkali metals?
These atoms react rapidly and violently with water
|
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
The law that states that the mass before a reaction must be the same as the mass after a reaction
|
What are Transition Metals?
These elements are found in groups 3-12 and are often good conductors of electricity and heat.
|
What is an alpha particle?
This type of particle is released when an atom decays into a helium nucleus and a slightly smaller atom.
|
What is 8?
The number of electrons in the second energy level of an atom.
|
What is Gallium?
This element is a metal, but has a melting point so low that it will melt in your hand.
|
What is an exothermic reaction?
A reaction that releases energy as a product
|
What is an Ionic Bond?
When two atoms have very different electronegativities the will make this type of bond.
