Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The smallest unit that can exist is an atom.
Neutrons are neutral (no charge).
Electrons have a negative charge (-).
The number of protons determines the element's identity (atomic number).
An element is a substance composed of only one type of atom.
A compound is formed when two or more different types of atoms chemically bond together to form a new substance with unique properties.
Water (H2O) is the most abundant compound on Earth.
Elements with similar properties form compounds by sharing or losing electrons to achieve stability.
Water is a compound formed from hydrogen and oxygen.
Ionic bonds occur between oppositely charged ions.
Compound names are written using Latin prefixes that indicate how many atoms of each element are present.
Atoms can be arranged differently within a compound but still maintain their chemical identities.
Compound formation involves combining atoms from different elements into a single chemical entity.
Water is called the mickeymouse molecule
water exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.
Cohesion is the force that keeps water molecules together
Adhesion allows water molecules to stick to different surfaces
Hydroxide is when one hydrogen in H20 detaches and there is 0H left over. This is a negative alkalinic ion.
Alkaline: having the properties of an alkali, or containing alkali; having a pH greater than 7
If a solution is alkaline it will have more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
An acidic solution has more hydrogen atoms than hydroxide ions.
PH is a measurement of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The proportion of H+/H0- ions.
A polar molecule has a positive side and negative side.
Water is a polar molecule because it’s oxygen atoms are positive and hydrogen atoms are negative
Ions are molecules or atoms with an unequal amount of protons and electrons. Ions are charged particles.
The PH scale is exponential.
Matter has mass and takes up space. Matter is made up of atoms. It is all the stuff in the universe.
There are four types of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma.
The difference between an atom and a molecule is that: An atom is the smallest unit of matter that still has all of the properties of its element, whereas a molecule is a structure that contains multiple atoms bonded together.
Elements are pure substances.
The smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
Atoms attach or connect by creating bonds with eachother, this bonding allows atoms to create new compounds like water.
Atoms are the smallest particles of elements.
In an atom protons = electrons and electrons=protons so atoms are neutral.
The atomic number is the number of proton.
An isotope is an atom of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
