The Structure of Matter-Jullian

The chemical structure of an atom shows the way atoms in a compound are arranged and determine many of the compounds properties.

Chemical bonds are forces that hold different atoms or ions together.

The bond distance is the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms.

Bond angles tell how the atoms are oriented in space.

Hydrogen bonds are when an oxygen atom of a water molecule is attracted to a hydrogen atom of another water molecule close by

Ionic bonds are formed between oppositely charged atoms.

Metallic bonds form between metals. When one atoms nucleus attracts electrons, it packs the atoms close together. The packing causes the outermost energy levels of the atoms to overlap and the electrons are free to move from atom to atom.

Covalent bonds are often formed between non metal atoms, and it is when a bond forms when atoms shared one or more pairs of electrons.

An ion made of two or more atoms

A formula unit is a unit such as NaCl

Bonds in which the electrons are shared equally

Bonds that do not share electrons equally.

The simplest formula of a compound, tells you the smallest whole number ratio of atoms that are in a compound.

The molecular formula tells how many atoms are in one molecule of the compound.

An organic compound is a covalently bonded compound that contains carbon, excluding carbonates and oxides.

Polymers are large molecules that are formed by five monomers, or small units.

Any organic compound that is made of carbon, hydrgen, and oxygen that provides nutients to living things.

An organic compound that is made of one or more chains of amino acids and is a principle component of all cells.

Any one of 20 different organic molecules that contain a carboxyl and an amino group that combine to form proteins.

Compound made of only carbon

Single covalent hydrocarbon

Hydrocarbon with at least one double covalent bond between atms

Genetic makeup.
