Review for Chemistry Final Exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| elements are arranged this way on the current periodic table | increasing atomic number |
| number of valence electrons equals this | group number |
| center of atom where protons & neutrons are found | nucleus |
| these subatomic particles must be equal if atom is neutral | protons + electrons |
| change in number of protons | different element |
| change in number of neutrons | isotope |
| change in number of electrons | ion |
| innermost electrons are called this | core |
| outermost electrons are called this | valence |
| Cations are found where on the periodic table | 1A, 2A, 3A (+ d and f blocks) |
| Anions are found where on the periodic table | 5A, 6A, 7A |
| Type of chemical reaction: AB --> A + B | decomposition reaction |
| Type of chemical reaction: A + B --> A B | synthesis reaction |
| Type of chemical reaction: AB + CD --> AD + CB | double replacement reaction |
| Type of chemical reaction: AB + C --> CB + A (sometimes) | single replacement reaction |
| Compound made by a transfer of valence electrons | ionic |
| Compound made by sharing of valence electrons | covalent |
| How are ionic compounds named? | never use prefixes |
| How are covalent compounds named? | always use prefixes but never put "mono" on 1st anion |
| the sum of protons and neutrons | atomic mass |
| what element is the exception in group 1A (1) | H , not a metal |
| what element is the exception in group 8A (18) | He, stable with 2 valence electrons |
| 2 parts of an ionic compound | cation (metal) + anion (nonmetal) |
| 2 parts of a covalent compound | anion (nonmetal) + anion (nonmetal) |
| subatomic particle with positive charge | proton |
| subatomic particle with negative charge | electron |
| subatomic particle with no charge | neutron |

| Rule that says that atoms of elements become stable with 8 valence electrons | octet |
| is conserved in every chemical reaction | molar mass ; energy ; # & type of atoms |
| numbers that are never changed to balance a chemical equation | subscripts |
| numbers that are placed in front of elements or compounds to balance a chemical equation | coefficients |
| chemical equation that is not balanced | skeleton |

| Movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration | diffusion |
| from 0 to 6 on pH scale ; release H+ ions | acids |
| from 8 to 14 on pH scale ; release OH- ions | bases |
| any substance with pH of 7 | neutral |
| this is done to convert Celsius degrees to Kelvin degrees | add 273 |
