Chemistry Basic

QuestionAnswer
Atom Smallest possible unit of an element that retains the physical and chemical properties of its element
Matter occupies space and has mass
Ion charged atom or molecule
Element a substance that can't be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions
Compound molecules made from more than one type of atom
Isotope atoms of an element that have the same atomic number but different mass number
Molecule atoms that have combined chemically
Atoms vs. elements atoms:smallest amount that makes up elements elements: Basic substance that can't be simplified
Molecule vs. compounds not all compounds are molecules but all molecules are compounds
Formation of an ion ion is an atom or molecule that has lost or has gained one or more valence electrons
Isotopes of various elements they have the same atomic number, but different mass
Polar covalent bond covalent bond formed by an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms
Non-polar covalent bond covalent bond formed by an equal sharing of electrons between atoms
Ionic bond Bond formed by the electrostatic attraction after the complete transfer of an electron from a donor atom to an acceptor
Proton, Neutron, and Electron Neutron= no charge Proton= +1 Electron= -1
pH scale differences basic, acidic, neutral In a neutral solution, [H+] = 10-7 M and [OH-] = 10-7 M. In an acidic solution where the [H+] = 10-5 M, the [OH-] = 10-9 M. In a basic solution where the [H+] = 10-9 M, the [OH-] = 10-5 M.
What is a pH scale? pH scale is a scale used to measure degree of acidity. It ranges from 0 to 14.
pH level in the environment increases or decreases Increase and decrease:substance that minimizes large sudden changes in pH.
Examples in which organisms resist pH to maintain homeostasis Work by accepting H+ ions from solution when they are in excess and by donating H+ ions to the solution when they have been depleted.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
