CHEM 101L Chapter Notes - Chapter 1.7: Fluorine, Standard Deviation, Chlorine
Document Summary
Chem 101: diatomic molecules and different level ions and introduction to. Diatomic molecules are molecules of elements that cannot be found alone in nature. The diatomic molecules are as follows and the following is the. By not being able to be found alone in nature, i mean that you cannot find. Just h in nature, but can only find h2 in nature. What defines an element is how many protons it has. Ions are different charged particles of the same element that result because they each have a different number of valence electrons. For example, as i have referenced in lesson 7, iron (fe) can have 2 different charges, fe2+ which is known as ferrous, and fe3+ which is known as ferric. As said before isotopes carry a different number of neutrons, and since protons and neutrons are 99. 9% of the weight of the atom, isotopes are a wide variety of the same element with different weights.
