Back
Subscripts tell us the number of ___________ for each formula.
Front
number of each element
Back
mass spectrometry
Front
a technique that separates particles according to their mass. deflection is inversely proportional to mass-to-charge ratio (m/z).

Difference between ionic bond and covalent bond:
Front
ionic: lose/gain electrons, smallest unit is a formula unit, composed of metals & nonmetals, stronger
covalent: sharing electrons, molecule is the smallest unit, composed of only nonmetals
Back
electrostatic attraction
Front
the attraction between positive and negative charges
Back
When a neutral atom gain electron(s):
Front
-ide ending
Back
ionic bond
Front
Formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another (results in a net charge)

Dalton's Atomic Theory
Front
1) elements are composed of atoms.
2) atoms of same element are identical in mass and properties, but differ from other elements atoms
3) elements can mix together to form compounds
4) a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms
Back
