Term | Definition |
---|---|
pH buffer (buffer) | molecules that absorb added H+ ions and OH- ions, keeping the pH constant |
buffering capacity | the amount of molecules available that can absorb added H+ ions and OH- ions |
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation | an equation whereby the concentrations of buffering compounds can be determined as needed to maintain the pH of a solution |
hybridizing orbitals | When electron orbitals are combined and divided equally as in the case of carbon. This accounts for the s and p orbitals coming out at the same energy level. |
valence electrons | electrons in an atom with the highest principle quantum number |
