the sub-atomic particles.

7. What elements are represented here? Use the Periodic
Table on the wall to identify these atoms.
What does the term “valence shell” mean? Label the
valence shell on each of these.

8. Ions
Loss or gain of
an electron
makes an atom
into an ion.
+
-
-
Gaining an electron
makes a positive or
negative ion?
Losing an electron
makes a positive
or negative ion?
9. Isotopes
Atoms that gain or lose a
neutron become isotopes.
Radioactive isotopes are
used in medicine for
imaging (such as PET
scanners).
10. Why is this important?
• Each element has distinct properties:
color, melting point, reactivity, etc.
• The basic atomic structure of each
element determines that element’s
properties. Change the structure, and
you have an entirely different element.

nucleus are about the same size.
1. True
2. False
3. Depends on which
cell and which atom.
14. Atoms bond together
• Molecules are made up of atoms bonded
together.
• The structure of an individual atom
determines:
• Whether the atom can form bonds.
• How many other atoms it can bond to.
15. In our model of scale, remember that
the marble represented a small
molecule, such as glucose.
24. Polar bonding between atoms produces a polar
molecule, which has areas with slightly positive or
slightly negative charges.

difference between nonpolar and polar
covalent bonding

larger than, smaller than, or the same
size as a water molecule in the solid
phase?
• Describe what happens to water
molecules as liquid water evaporates.

37. Properties of Water
• Water is:
• Cohesive
• Adhesive
• A “universal solvent”
• Water also has:
• A high specific heat
• A high heat of vaporization
38. pH is a ratio between H+ and OH- ions in solution.
39. • One unusual property of water is that it
is less dense in the solid stage than in the
liquid stage, which causes ice to float.
Why does water become less dense as it
freezes? Use what you learned about
hydrogen bonding between molecules.
