water properties, atoms, bonds, and pH

QuestionAnswer
Water molecule atoms H2O
bonds between each hydrogen and oxygen one covalent bond
covalent bond sharing electron
Do hydrogen and oxygen atoms of a water molecule share the electrons equally? No
Which atoms has a stronger pull on the electron? the oxygen atom
Oxygen's charge in water slightly negative
slight charge symbol and name Delta δ
polar molecule a molecule that has a region with a slight positive charge and a region with a slight negative charge.
is water polar or nonpolar? polar
Opposite charges ---, like charges ---- attract, repel
hydrogen bond weak attraction between hydrogen atom and other atom with slight negative charge
hydrogen charge slightly positive
hydrogen bonds hold water together, T or F True
Adhesion attraction of unlike substances
Cohesion attraction of like substances
High Surface Tension A measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid. Attraction of water molecules on the surface. Makes water behave like its coated with an invisible film
Capillary Action Water can be drawn up a thin tube against the forces of gravity. Result of both adhesion and cohesion creates meniscus.
Capillary having a very small bore
Bore The internal diameter of a tube
Meniscus Curved edge of water
Universal solvent Water dissolves many substances with a charge. Forms a solution,
Expands when it freezes Freezes, organizes, and expands, creating gaps, lowering the density, allowing it to float.
High specific heat Refers to water's ability to absorb and retain heat energy before it's temp changes.
Unique Properties of Water High Surface Tension, capillary action, universal solvent, expands when it freezes, high specific heat.
Solution a mixture in which one or more substances are uniformly distributed in another substance.
Solute the substance dissolved in the solution
Solvent the substance in which the solute is dissolved
Implications Water strider, roots absorbing water, sugar dissolving, ice insulates ponds, and regulates temp, helping with homeostasis.
Specific Heat Amount of heat per unit mass required to change the temperature
aqueous solution a solution where water is the solvent
Concentration the measure of the amount of solute dissolved in a fixed amount of solution
dilute solution a solution that only a little solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
concentrated solution A solution that contains a large amount of solute relative to the amount that could be dissolved.
Dissociation of water the breaking apart of a water molecules. One hydrogen is released.
what does dissociation of water created creates hydroxide ions, negatively charged, and hydrogen ions, positively charged.
Acid a chemical compound that releases H+ into a solution
Base a compound that accepts H+ and removes them from the solution
Alkaline a solution contains more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions the solution is basic(Alkaline)
pH scale range 0 to 14
14 basic, more hydroxide
0 acidic, more hydrogen
neutral 7
What does the pH scale measure? The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution
How much is each step? ten fold
Neutralization mixing an acid and a base yiels salt and water
Salt Ionic compound containing ions cations other than H+ and anions other than OH-
Buffer Substances that minimized changes in pH, they buffer
Cation atom loses electron(s), positive charge
Anion atom gains electron(s), negative charge
Valence Shell outermost shell; participates in bonding
Octet Rule Valence shell typically has eight electrons except the first shell has two
Vertical Row Same number of electrons in valence shell
Horizontal Contains elements with the same total number of electron shells
Ion Formed when an atom loses or gains electrons becoming electrically charged
Ionic bond strength weak
Ionic Bond: Metal and metal or metal or nonmetal metal and nonmetal
Covalent bond When atoms share electrons
Covalent bonds: metal or nonmetal nonmetal
Covalent Bonds Create Molecules
Strength of Covalent Bond Strongest
In water, are the hydrogens close or spread apart? close
Type of bond between hydrogen and oxygen in water covalent and hydrogen bonds
importance of universal solvent Is a medium for chemical reactions
Compound Two or more different elements combine in a fixed ratio to form molecules of a compound
atomic number A number of protons within the nucleus of an atom
mass number The sum of protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus
atomic mass Average of all the relative mass numbers of all the isotopes of an element, taking in account their relative abundance
density the degree of compactness of a substance.
Atomic number of carbon 6
Atomic number of Hydrogen 1
Atomic number nitrogen 7
Atomic number of oxygen 8
Color of carbon black
color of hydrogen white
color of nitrogen blue
color of oxygen red
Mass number of carbon 12
Mass number of hydrogen 1
Mass number of nitrogen 14
Mass number of oxygen 16
Molecule two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
Ionic bond formed between oppositely charged ions
Dissolve To cause to pass into solution
