Document Summary

Carbon ,c, comes from the latin word carbo which means coal. Isotope- forms of an element that differ in the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus: proton number stays the same, ex. When c14 decays, one neutron splits into a protein and electron. Thus, a carbon atom becomes a nitrogen atom with 7 neutrons and protons: helps scientists find out the ages of fossils, radioisotopes used in tracers- a substance with a detectable component, used in pet scans. Why electrons matter: carries energy, but only in incremental amounts. Ion- atom or molecules that carries a net charge: unequal number of proton and neutrons. Ionic bonds: type of chemical bond in which a strong mutual attraction links ions of opposite charge, one end of an ionically bonded molecules positive and other end is negative, this separation is called polarity. Water stabilizes temperature: temperature- measure a molecular motion.
