Flashcard on Atomic Theory and Structure

Front

What is an Anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.

Who proposed the concept of Bose-Einstein Condensate?

Back

Albert Einstein proposed the concept of Bose-Einstein Condensate, a state of matter formed at very low temperatures.

Front

What are Valence Electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom that are involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

Front

What does Dalton's Atomic Theory state about atoms of different elements?

Back

Dalton's Atomic Theory states that atoms of different elements have different masses.

Front

What happens to Valence Electrons in Ionic Bonding?

Back

In ionic bonding, valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

What is a Cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion that is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

Front

What is the nucleus of an atom?

Back

The nucleus is the central part of an atom, containing protons and neutrons.

Front

What are Protons?

Back

Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What are Neutrons?

Back

Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom, with no charge.

Front

What is the atomic number?

Back

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element.
