Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element is an atom.
Ion Formation
- Atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions through a process called ionization.
Chemical Bonding
- Covalent bonds are characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- The attraction between two atoms that share a pair of electrons is known as a covalent bond.
- The term for the attraction between two atoms that share a pair of electrons is also referred to as electron pair bond.
Energy and Electrons
- The energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its ground state is known as ionization energy.
Atomic Structure
- The smallest unit of matter that still retains the properties of an element is an atom.
Ion Formation
- Atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions through a process called ionization.
Chemical Bonding
- Covalent bonds are characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- Electrons shared between atoms form a chemical bond, with the attraction between the atoms being called a covalent bond.
- Ionic bonds, on the other hand, are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms.
Energy and Electrons
- The energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its ground state is called ionization energy.
- The energy change associated with the formation of a covalent bond is called bond energy.
Atoms vs. Molecules
- The main difference between an atom and a molecule is that an atom is a single unit of an element, while a molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together.
Electron Arrangement
- When an atom gains or loses electrons, its electron arrangement changes, resulting in the formation of ions.
Electron Properties
- One true statement about electrons is that they are involved in chemical bonding through sharing or transfer.
