Study Notes
Compounds and Mixtures
- Compounds are formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded
- Mixtures are formed when two or more elements are physically bonded (properties are not changed, e.g., ice melting)
Isotopes
- Isotopes are of the same element with a different number of neutrons
- Mass = protons + neutrons
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
- Atomic mass unit (AMU) is calculated by combining the mass abundance
Metalloids
- Metalloids: B, As, Sb, Si, Te, Ge
Periodic Table Groups
- Elements in the same group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties and similar valence electrons (vertical)
- Metals are to the left of the step-like line on the periodic table
- Non-metals are to the right of the step-like line on the periodic table
Chemical Bonding
- In chemical bonding, metals lose electrons to become positively charged ions (cations)
- In chemical bonding, non-metals gain electrons to become negatively charged ions (anions)
- Only when it is a bond between a metal and a non-metal
- When a cation forms, the radius of the metal becomes smaller
- Anions are larger than their parent element
Molecular Compounds
- Molecular compounds share electrons
- Polar molecular compounds (asymmetrical) share electrons unequally
- Non-polar molecular compounds (symmetrical) share electrons equally
