Chemical Properties
Element: Simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties. Atom: The smallest particles with unique chemical identities. Nucleus: Center of an atom (composed of protons and neutrons). Proton: Have a single positive charge (+1).
Neutron: Have no charge.
Electron: Tiny particles with a single negative charge and very low mass (-1)/determines chemical bonding properties of an atom.
Atomic Number: Number of protons in the nucleus.
Atomic Mass: Approximate number of protons and neutrons equal to total.
Isotope: Atoms of same element that very in numbers of neutrons.
Electron Shells: Energy levels of electrons.
Ions: Charged particles with unequal number of protons and neutrons.
Cations: Positively charged ions.
Anions: Negatively charged ions.
Covalent Bond: The sharing of (single, double) a pair of electrons.
Ionic Bond: The attraction of a cation to an anion (ex. Na+ and Cl-).
Hydrogen Bond: Weak attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen atom (covalently bonded to an oxygen or nitrogen atom) in one molecule and a slightly negative ___ atom in another.
Van der Waals forces: Weak, brief attractions between non-polar molecules (1% strong as covalent bond) Molecule: Chemical particles composed of two or more atoms united by a chemical bond.
Polar Covalent Molecule: One part of the molecule is more positive while the other side is more negative. Non-polar Covalent Molecule: Shared electrons send approximately equal time around each nucleus (strongest of all chemical bonds).
Compound: Molecules composed of two or more molecules.
Molecular Formula: Identifies a molecule’s constituent elements and show how many atoms of each are present (ex. C2H6O).
Structural Formula: Shows the location of each atom.
Mixture: Consists of substances that are physically blended but not chemically combined.
Solvency: Ability to dissolve other chemicals.
Hydrophilic: Molecules that attract water of dissolve in it because of their polar nature.
Hydrophobic:

    Today we know that each atom is made up of three parts, a proton, a neutron and an electron. These atoms combine to make compounds. The most basic atoms are called elements and cannot be broken down any more than they already are. There are currently 118 known elements 90 of them occurring naturally and the other 28 are man made. The elements combine in an infinitesimal amount of ways to make up every thing around us.…
