help studying for Unit 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Isotopes | members of the same element that have the same # of protons and electrons but different # of electrons (hence, their mass # is different). |
Radioisotopes | decay over time by giving off radiation (particles). |
Mass number | atomic mass rounded to nearest whole number |
Qualitative analysis | observing changes in the physical or chemical qualities of a sample |
Quantitative analysis | measuring changes in the measured quantities of a sample (eg. mass, temperature, volume etc) |
Diatomic elements | elements that for a bond with themselves ("di" means 2). Hint: BrINCl HOF!) |
Spectator ions | aqueous ions that appear on both sides of an equation and so can be cancelled out |
Polyatomic ions | charged ions that are made up of more than one element |
Synthesis reaction | forms one product |
Decomposition reaction | has only one reactant |
Combustion reaction | always forms carbon dioxide and water |
Solubility tables | tells which ionic compounds would not dissolve in water |
Precipitate | an ionic compound that is insoluble (and there for solid) |
Multivalent | metals that can form more than one charged ion |
States of Matter (solid, liquid or gas) | depends on the temperature of the sample |
Valence electrons | are in the outermost electron shell and participate in chemical bonds |
Lewis Dot diagram | Shows the # of valence electrons (same as the Group #) |
Ionic bond | Force of attraction between oppositely charged ions |
