| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| compound that releases a hydrogen ion (H+) in water | acid |
| It is below 7 on the pH scale | acid |
| compound that removes a hydrogen ion from water and leave a hydroxyl ion (OH- ) | bases |
| Above 7 on the pH scale | bases |
| is a 7 on the pH scale | neutral |
| basic unit of matter | atom |
| atoms are composed of | A nucleus with positive protons and neutral neutrons and then outside the nucleus are negative electrons |
| what substance is made of one type of atom and cannot be broken into simpler substances by ordinary means | element |
| The number of ______________ identifies the element | protons |
| what is filled so that an element is stable | outer energy level |
| Losing electrons form | positive ions |
| atoms sharing electrons form _____________ bonds | covalent |
| Covalent bonds are _______ then ionic bonds | weaker |
| two or more electrons held together by a covalent bonds | molecules |
| Substances composed of two or more different elements that are bonded together in specific ratios | compounds |
| Formed when atoms in the molecules have unequal pulls on the electrons they share | polar molecules |
| example of polar molecules | water |
| The attraction of a hydrogen atom in a polar molecule to the slight negative end of another polar molecule creates a | hydrogen bond |
| attraction among molecules of a substance | cohesion |
| attraction among molecules of different substances | adhesion |
| When one substance dissolves in another it forms a | solution |
| a substance that dissolves another substance to form a solution. ex: water | solvent |
| substances that dissolves example salt | solute |
| The amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent is a solution's | concentration |
| the first energy level can hold __________ electrons | 2 |
| How many electrons can the third energy level hold? | 18 |
| a(n) __________ bond is formed when atoms give or take electrons | ionic |
| which type of bond is stronger | ionic |
| The number of protons in an atom is called the ______________. | atomic number |
| how may electrons can the second energy level hold? | 8 |
| when an atom gains an electron ____________ are formed | negative ion |
