| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a mixture | Two or more elements not chemically bonded together |
| What is a compound | two or more elements chemically bonded together |
| What is ionic bonding | a bond that transfers an electron from one atom to another resulting in attraction between oppositely charged ions |
| What is covalent bonding | a chemical bond formed by shared electrons |
| Magic number valence electrons for chemical bonding | if atomic number is less than 5, it is 2 if it is more than 5, it is 8 |
| Why is chemical bonding important | almost all of the matter around us is formed by chemical bonds |
| ph scale for acids, bases, and neutral | 1-6 strong acid 8-14 strong base 7 - neutral |
| properties of an acid | sour, reacts with metals, turns blue litmus paper red, turns phenol red yellow |
| properties of a base | bitter taste, slippery feel, turns red litmus paper blue |
| pH in the environment and bodies | the nutrients plants get are affected by the pH of soil and too much pH can be toxic to plants. Aquatic life is also affected. |
| what is a physical change | a substance changes form but remains the same substance |
| what is a chemical change | turns one or more substances into different substances with different properties |
| what are properties of reactants | reactants are substances that are combined and changed in a chemical reaction |
| what are properties of products | new substances which result from a chemical reaction |
| what is an exothermic reaction | a reaction that releases more energy than it uses |
| what is an endothermic reaction | a reaction that uses more energy than it releases |
| what is conservation of mass | the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products because they are the same atoms |
