Chapter 2 : Chemical michelle B




matter consists of chemical elements in form and in called compounds

1. matter : that takes up space and has mass
anything

A elements and compounds

1. element : any substance that cannot be broken down to other substance by chemical reactions
any
. compound : substance

extremely minute amounts

1. trace elements are essential ,
but required in minute amounts

2 effects of iron deficiency include fatigue and anemia
, as it affects
hemoglobin function

an elements properties depend on struc ture of its atoms


1. atom : smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element


A subatomic particles

1. nuetuons : no elec tric charge , mass of nucleus of an a tom

3. atomic numbers and atomic mass

# of protons in the nucleus of an atom
unique for each element and is subscript
1 atomic number

:


total # of protons and nuetons in an atom's nucleus
2 mass
. number :

3 mass : total mass of anatom
, equivalent to the mass in
grams of
I mole of the atom

. atomic slightly different mass to electrons
mass is than number due negligible mass

# of protons + nuetrons

form of an element, each ws same of protons but different # of nuetrons
I . isotopes : atomic

.
the formation and function of molecules depend on chemical bonding between atoms


1. chemical bonds : attraction between 2 atoms of outer-shell elec trons
, sharing or presence

of opposite charges on the atoms
. bonded atoms gain complete outer elec tron shells


* Covalent Bond

strong chemical bond in which 2 atoms share low more pairs of valence
