ductile

Metals can be drawn into into thin sheets or wires without breaking

Malleable

Metals that can be hammered, pounded or pressed into different shapes without breakong

Gas

No definite volume, shape, fills any space available

Atomic mass

Number of protons+neutrons (average)

Atomic number

Number of protons, determines which element it is

Chemical property

Properties that determine how a substance will behave, which it will react with composition, charge, color etc

Ionization energy

The amount of energy required to remove and electron from an atoms, the higher ie-> more difficult it is to remove electrons the lower the ir-> the easier to remove electrons

Protons

The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that carbon atoms always have 6...

Condensation

The process by which a gas becomes a liquid

Evaporation

The process by which a liquid becomes a gas, cooling process

Electronegativity

The strength with witch and atom can pull electrons to form a bond.

Mass number

The total number of protons and neutrons within an isotope

Non-metals

They are rarely metallic luster, usually gases at room temp., Aren't malleable and ductile, and are poor conductors of heat

Metals

They have metallic shine, they're usually solids at room temp., they are malleable, ductile and they're good conductors of heat and electricity cause electrons can be moved more freely between atoms

Metalloids

Used as semi-conductors in computers, elements like closer to metal are better conductors, elements closer to non-metals are weaker conductors

Covalent bonding

Valence electrons are shared between atoms, strong bonds

polar

chemical bond that has a dipolar

non polar

said a chemical bond that has no dipole

Ionic bonding

valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Weak bonds

Non bonding pairs

2 paired valence electrons that tend not to participate in a chemical bond

Physical change

A change in which substance changes one or more of to physical properties without transforming it into a new substance

Chemical change

A change in which the aroma of one or more substances are rearranged into one or more new substances

Molecule

A group of atoms held tightly together by covalent bonding

Chemical formula

A notation used to indicate the composition of a compound consisting of the atomic symbols for different elements of the compound and numerical subscript indication the ratio in which the atoms combine

Freezing

A transformation from a liquid to a solid

Melting

A transformation from a solid to a liquid

Atomic symbol

An abbreviation for an element or atom

Ion

An electrically charged particle created when an atom either loses or gains one or more electrons

Neutron

An electrically neutral subatomic particle

Element

Any material that is made up of only one type of atom

Isotope

Any member of a set of atoms of the same element whose nuclei contain the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

Valence electron

Electron outermost shell of an atom (bonds with chemicals)

Polyatomic Ion

Group of atoms covalently bonded together that share a charge

Liquid

Has a definite volume, no definite shape

Electrons

Has a negative charge
