2. Matter and Atomic Structure
____________: the smallest particle of an element; consists of:
______________ p+: in the nucleus
____________ no: in the nucleus
____________ e-: surrounds the nucleus; equal to the number of protons

3. Matter and Atomic Structure
_____________: anything that has volume and mass
_____________: a substance not broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means
Each element has a 1 or 2-letter symbol
Examples: oxygen (O), sodium (Na)
_____________:A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically.
Ex: hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2)
_____________: a molecule composed of atoms of 2+ different elements that are chemically combined
Ex: NaCl: salt, H2O: water

Chemical Bonds
Ionic Bonds
An ______________ bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
These positively and negatively charged atoms are known as ________.

Chemical Bonds
Sodium atom (Na)
Sodium ion (Cl-)
The chemical bond in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another is called an ionic bond. The compound sodium chloride forms when sodium loses its valence electron to chlorine.

The Water Molecule
_________________ is an attraction between molecules of the same substance.
Because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.
Example: surface tension (bugs walking on water)

20. Solutions and Suspensions
When a crystal of table salt is placed in warm water, sodium and chloride ions are attracted to the polar water molecules.
Na+
Cl -
Water
When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride is placed in water, water molecules surround and separate the positive and negative ions.
