  • What is matter?
    Anything that has mass (weight) and takes up space (volume)
  • What is mass?

    A measure of the amount of matter in an object
  • What is volume?
    The amount of space an object takes up
  • Physical (Qualitative) properties

    Measured with 5 senses
  • What is a proton?
    positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus
    2000x smaller than an electron
  • What is a Neutron?
    a neutrally charged ion inside the nucleus with proton
    2000x smaller than an electron
  • What is an electron?
    a negatively charged subatomic particle located in teh energy levels of an atom
    2000x larger than a proton and neutron
  • What is atomic radius?
    the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron
    measured in pictometers (pm)
  • effective nuclear charge (Zeff)
    opposites attract electrons (-) are attracted to protons(+) in the nucleus
  • atomic radius down a group
    Increases because more electron levels are added
    Electrons are negative and repell eachother increasing the atomic size
  • atomic radius across a period
    Decreases- more protons are in nucleus pulling the electrons tighter together (attractive force is stronger)
  • Ionic Radius
    Distance from the center of an ion's nucleus to its outermost electron
  • Ionic radius from metal to cation
    always smaller than the original neutral atom be it loses a valence energy level to achieve stability
  • Ionic radius from nonmetal to anion
    gains an energy level (always bigger than original neutral ion)
  • Anion
    A negatively charged ion
  • Ion
    An atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge.
  • Cation
    A positively charged ion
  • Ionization energy
    The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom's Valence
  • Ionization energy across a period
    increases as the proton# increases making the attractive pull stronger and requiring more energy to remove
  • Ionization energy down a group
    decreases: more electron shielding, effective nuclear charge decreases, easier to take electrons (less attractive pull/force
  • Electronegativity
    the ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself
  • Electronegativity across a period
    EN increases as more protons (atomic #) are added, creating a greater attractive force+bonds
  • Electronegativity down a group
    Decreases because electrons are further away from nucleus
  • Electron affinity
    Energy released when atoms are added
  • Electron affinity across a period
    Increases as more protons are added creating a greater attractive force
  • Electron affinity down a group
    decreases as distance from nucleus increases (more energy levels= further away)
  • What does 'isoelectronic' mean?
    Having the same number of electrons as a noble gas
  • isoelectronic' When do you add a positive charge?
    To subtract electrons
  • isoelectronic' When do you add a negative charge?
    To add electrons
  • ionic compound
    A compound that consists of positive and negative ions
  • ionic
    Metal + nonmetal:
    Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
  • molecular
    Non-metal +Non-metal:
    of, relating to, or consisting of molecules.
  • Molecular compound

    a compound composed of molecules
  • ionic compound characteristics
    have very high melting points and boiling points

    dissolve readily in water and other polar convent and are good conductors of electricity
  • molecular compound characteristics
    Gas at room temp. because they have less intermolecular forces, low melting/boiling points, bad conductors because charged particles aren't moving
  • Intermolecular force
    forces of attraction between molecules
  • Intramolecular force

    forces that hold atoms and ions together in molecules and compounds
  • Bond formed when the EN difference is larger than 1.7
    Ionic bond
  • Bond formed when the EN difference is samller than 1.7
    Covalent bond (molecular)
  • Non polar bonds
    covalent bonds where electrons are shared equally between atoms
