SNC2D Chemistry

Review of the Chemistry unit for Grade 10 Academic science (SNC2D)

QuestionAnswer
What is a physical change? A change that changes the form or physical state (Ex. Ice melting to water or shattering glass).
What is a chemical change? A change that produces a new product (Ex. Rusting metal or bread molding).
What is a QUALITATIVE physical property? Something that describes appearance/quality. Doesn't use numbers.
What is a QUANTITATIVE physical property? A characteristic that can be measured. Uses numbers.
What is a chemical property? Something that describes what is happening during a chemical change.
2 solutions were mixed into a beaker. The new liquid started to bubble and gas was produced. Is this a chemical or physical change and what properties can you use to explain why? This is a chemical change because gas was produced and this is a chemical property.
Some droplets of febreeze were sprayed onto a desk only for it to evaporate just a few seconds later. Is this a chemical or physical change and what properties can you use to explain why? This is a physical change because no new product was formed and the droplets of febreeze only changed physical state. The febreeze started as a liquid and then became a gas and this is a qualitative physical property (state of matter).
What are the 8 QUALITATIVE physical properties? - States of matter (solid, liquid, gas...) - Colour - Odour (smell) - Clarity (opaque, translucent, transparent) - Luster (shiny or dull) - Texture (rough or smooth) - Malleability - Ductility
What are the 6 QUANTITATIVE physical properties? - Hardness (Diamond is hardest natural mineral) - Viscosity (Honey is thicker than water) - Solubility - Conductivity (How easily electricity can flow through) - Melting / boiling point - Density (D=m/V)
What are the 5 chemical properties? - Light or heat produced - Gas is produced (You will see bubbling) - Colour change - A precipitate is formed (tiny solid particles dont let you see through like Cclloids) - Irreversible (cant undo a reaction)
What is Matter? Any substance with mass that takes up space
What is a Mixture? When 2 or more different types of particles come together in no specific order/amount (2g salt + 2g water and 19g salt + 8g water are both still salt water)
What is a Pure Substance? When 1 type of particle is made in a specific order/amount (CO2 is not the same as C2O4)
What is an element? Made of 1 type of atom. Found on Periodic Table
What is a compound? Made of 2 or more types of atoms. Ionic compounds and Molecular compounds.
What are the 7 diatomic elements H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2. Exist naturally in pairs as a compound in nature
What is a heterogenous mixture? Where nothing in the mixture dissolves in each other
What is a homogeneous (solution) mixture? Where one part of the mixture dissolves into the other and they become 1. This makes all solutions transparent.
What is a colloid? How could you tell by looking at it? A heterogeneous mixture where the particles are too tiny to be seen but don't dissolve in the solvent. Because of this they are often Opaque
What is a suspension? How could you tell by looking at it? A heterogenous mixture where the particles can be seen but don't dissolve in the solvent, This makes these visibly separate from the liquid it floats in.
What is an ordinary mechanical mixture? A heterogeneous mixture where particles are mixed but do not dissolve in each other whatsoever.
What kind of mixture is milk? Why? A colloid. It's opaque which is a sign because the tiny solids in the milk are preventing light from going through it.
What kind of mixture is a Bowl of fruits? Ordinary mechanical mixture
An atom is on Period 4. How many shells does it have? 4
An atom in in Group 7. How many valence electrons does it have? 7
An atom is in Group 3. How many electrons will it gain or lose to form an ion? It will lose 3 electrons.
Ionic compounds are formed from what 2 kind of ions? Cation and anion.
What is a cation? An ion that has lost (wants to give away) electrons and so has a positive charge.
What is an anion? An ion that has gained (wants to take) electrons and so has a negative charge.
How many electrons can go in the first shell of an atom? 2
How many electrons can go in the second, third, fourth, etc... shells of an atom? 8
What is the mass number of Carbon? 12
What is the atomic number of Lithium? 3
1 atom of an elements has a mass number of 23. If it has 12 neutrons, how many protons must it have? What element is this atom? It will have 23 -12 = 11 protons which means it is Sodium
What are the properties of an Alkali metal? - All have 1 valence electron - Shiny and very reactive - Forms compounds that dissolve quickly in water
What are the properties of an Alkaline metal? - All have 2 valence electrons - Shiny - A little less reactive than Alkalis. - Forms compounds that dont dissolve in water
What are the properties of a Halogen gas? - Very reactive - Very poisonous
Does Ar have an ion. If it does, what is it's charge? No because Ar is a noble gas (group 8 with full valance electron). It does not need any to lose or gain any electrons so it remains equal
What are the properties of a Noble gas? - Doesn't react - All have full valence electron
How do we name Ionic Compounds that dont use a transition metal? - Name the cation - Name the anion then change ending to "-ide"
How do we name Ionic Compounds that use a transition metal with many charges? - Name the cation - Name the charge to be used in Roman Numerals - Name the anion then change ending to "-ide"
"IX" is what number? 9
"VIII" is what number? 8
"tetra" is what number? 4
"hepta" is what number? 7
"nona" is what number? 9
How do we name PN2? Phosphorous dinitride
How do you reduce Mn2Cl4 and C2O6? - Mn2Cl4 is ionic because the first name is a metal. This means it can reduce to Mc1Cl2 which is MnCL4 - C2O6 is a molecular compounds because the name starts with a non-metal? Never reduce for molecular compounds. Keep it as C2O6.
What is the oxidation number/charge of an oxygen ion? 2-
What are the 3 subatomic particles? Proton, neutron and electron.
What are the charges of a Proton, neutron and electron in that order? Positive, neutral and negative.
How many shells does Li+ have? Normal Li has 2 shells because it is on period 2. However, because it loses it's one valence electron to have a full shell, the old one disappears and it's next inner shell becomes the valence shell.
What is a polyatomic ion? Molecules with a charge. Can be used to replace a normal cation or anion in an ionic compound.
Do metals form cations or anions? Cations.
Do non-metals form cations or anions? Anions.
What is a molecular compound A compound formed by atoms sharing electrons to fill their valence shell. This bond between atoms is a "covalent bond"
What is an ionic compound? Cations want to give electrons and Anions want to take them. Ionic compounds are formed between a cation that transfers it's electron permanently to an anion that needs it. This bond between the ions is an "ionic bond".
What is stronger? Ionic or covalent bonds? Ionic bonds are stronger. Thus ionic bonds are harder to break and need more heat to melt vs covalent bonds

What are the 4 kinds of reactions? 1. Synthesis (element or compound) 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion (complete or incomplete) 4. Displacement (single or double)
What does "incomplete" combustion mean? That there is not a lot of O2 for the combustion. This will produce some side-products
What are products of a "complete" combustion? H2O + CO2
What are the products of an "incomplete" combustion? H2O + CO2 + CO + C

What type of reaction is Mg + ZnCl2 -> Zn + MgCl2 Single displacement as one metal swapped into the compound and th eother swapped out
What type of reaction is Zn + MgCl2 -> Mg + ZnCl2 No reaction occurs. Zinc is not reactive enough to displace magnesium.
Which questions require you to use a Metal Activity series to see if the swapping of metals can occur? Single displacement
Which questions require you to look at the height in the Halogens group to see if the swapping of non-metals can occur? Single displacement
What type of reaction is this Cl2 + NaBr -> Br2 + NaCl Single displacement since Cl2 is higher on the the table (more reactive than) Br2. Not forgetting that Cl and Br are diatomic
