- 1MetalsInorganic material, comprised of one metallic element, can contain non-metallic elements.
Ferrous (Iron based), non-ferrous and alloys.
Good electrical and thermal conductors. - 2CeramicsInorganic material, made up of metallic and non-metallic elements.
Originally clay based.
Held in ionic and covalent bonds. - 3PolymersLong molecur chains or networks with a carbon backbone. Very
- 4What do we call an atom where the number of protons and electrons are not equal in number?Ions
Missing electrons it's positively charged. Extra electrons it's negatively charged. - 5How is the molar mass for a compound found?Top # is the # of protons / electrons
Bottom # is atomic mass (protons + neutrons)
Find the atomic mass, grams per 1 mole
( 6.022 x 10^23 ) - 6Define Avogadro’s number and molar mass6.022 x 10^23
The mass of 1 mole
g/mol - 7Define valency in terms of electronsElectrons in the outer shell
Form bonds with adjacent atoms
Determines the number of bonds formed
Number of unpaired electrons
Charge of the atom - 8Valence electrons in a: Conductor Semiconductor InsulatorConductor 1 - 3
Semiconductor 4
