Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The level of organization being discussed is the atomic level, which is the most basic unit of matter.
Chemical Compounds
- A compound is a substance that contains two or more different elements, chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
Atomic Structure
- An atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element that still maintains the properties of that element.
- Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus (center) of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
Chemical Bonding
- An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that forms between two atoms when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges.
- Ionic bonds typically form between metal and non-metal atoms.
Intermolecular Forces
- A hydrogen bond is a type of intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) forms a weak bond with another electronegative atom.
- Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak compared to ionic and covalent bonds, but are important in determining the structure and properties of molecules.
