CHEMISTRY:

THE STUDY OF
MATTER
 MATTER:
HAS MASS &
TAKES UP
SPACE
 ELEMENT: A
UNIT OF
MATTER MADE
OF ATOMS
 ATOM: THE
SMALLEST UNIT OF
MATTER

(MADE OF
PROTONS,
NEURTRONS &
ELECTRONS)
 PROTON:
A SUBATOMIC
PARTICLE WITH
A POSITIVE
CHARGE
 ELECTRON:
A SUBATOMIC
PARTICLE WITH
A NEGATIVE
CHARGE
 NEUTRON:
A SUBATOMIC
PARTICLE WITH
NO CHARGE
ION: AN ATOM
THAT HAS
GAINED OR
LOST
ELECTRONS
 ISOTOPE: A
FORM OF AN
ELEMENT WITH
A DIFFERENT
NUMBER OF
NEUTRONS
 COMPOUND:
FORMED WHEN
TWO OR MORE
ELEMENTS
COMBINE
 MOLECULE:
FORMED WHEN
TWO OR MORE
ELEMENTS
COMBINE AND
SHARE ELECTRONS
VALENCE ELECTRONS: ON THE
OUTTER SHELL OF THE ATOM
 OCTET RULE:
STATES THAT
ATOMS WANT
EIGHT VALENCE
ELECTRONS OR
A FULL SHELL
IONIC COMPOUND:
FORMED BETWEEN
METALS AND
NONMETALS.
METALS TRANSFER
ELECTRONS TO
NONMETALS
 COVALENT BOND:
FORMED WHEN TWO
OR MORE
NONMETALS
COMBINE AND SHARE
ELECTRONS
 ISOMER: A
MOLECULE WITH
THE SAME
CHEMICAL
FORMULA BUT
DIFFERENT
STRUCTURE
