a)

Look at the atomic numbers on the Periodic Table of Elements.

b)

Look at the atomic mass.

extended structure.

10.

What is an extended structure?

a)

A type of extended structure that is made of many smaller, atoms in a chain.

b)

The types of elements that make up a substance, as well as the specific ratios of atoms of each kind of element that make it.

c)

A structure whose subunits occur in a constant ratio and are arranged in a repeating pattern; the subunit can be individual atoms (like Carbon) or a molecule (like propane or butane).

d)

A group of two or more atoms that are held together by chemical bonds.
