What is an Element?
substance made up of only one type of atom
1 of 13
What is a Compound?
substance made when 2 or more elements are chemically bonded together
2 of 13
Proton
found in nucleus, relative charge (+1), relative mass (1)
3 of 13
Neutron
found in nucleus, relative charge (0), relative mass (1)
4 of 13
Electron
orbits nucleus, relative charge (-1), relative mass (close to 0)
5 of 13
Why does an atom have no overall charge?
Because the no. of protons (which are positive) is equal to the no. of electrons (which are negative)
6 of 13
What is the overall charge of the NUCLEUS ?
positive
7 of 13
Electrons
-arranged around nucleus in shells -> each shell represents a different energy level -> the higher the energy level, the farthest from the nucleus
8 of 13
What the a group number of an element tell you?
how many electrons it has in its outershell
9 of 13
Group 0 elements / "Noble Gases"
they are unreactive bc their atoms have a stable arrangements of electrons (they have a complete outershell)
10 of 13
Forming Ions
Metal atoms -> positive ions // Non-metal ions -> negative ions
11 of 13
Explain ionic bonding
opposite charges attract each other -> therefore there are strong attractions between the positive and negative ions in metal + non-metal compound
12 of 13
As no new atoms are created or destroyed...
TOTAL MASS OF REACTANTS = TOTAL MASS OF PRODUCTS
