Chemistry Final

QuestionAnswer
Charge of Protons + Positive
Charge of Electrons - Negative
Charge of Neutrons 0
Location of protons Nucleus
Location of Neutrons Nucleus
Location of Electrons Outside of Nucleus
What is an atom? The smallest unit of matter that forms a chemical element.
When is an atom considered to be electrically neutral? When the number of protons equals the number of electrons
Elements in the same ___ contain similar properties group
What is the trend for atomic radius down a group on the PT? Atomic radius increase down a group because each energy level added increases the size of the atom
What is electronegativity? Electronegativity is how strongly an element pulls on another atom´s electrons
What is the trend of electronegativity when moving down a group on the PT? Electronegativity increases across a period (left to right) and decreases down a group
What is the trend for number of valence electrons moving across a period on the PT? They increase by one as you move left to right, when looking at groups
When forming ionic bonds, cations/metals _____ electrons, where as anions/nonmetals ____ electrons donate/give away, gain/accept
Which type of bonds have high melting points, covalent or ionic bonds? Ionic
What is an electrolyte? Electrolytes are ionic compounds made of a cation and an anion.
What happens to an electrolyte when they dissolve in water? They separate into the two charged particles (ions) and are able to conduct electricity.
Why do covalent substances not conduct eletricity? Covalent substances do not conduct electricity because they do not produce charged -particles (ions) when dissolved
What is Kinetic energy? The energy of motion
Why do atoms form molecules? Atoms form molecules to obtain a full valence shell of electrons
Describe the transfer of energy when bonds break and also when bonds are formed. Energy is absorbed from the surrounding to break bonds and energy is released to the surroundings when bonds are formed.
What is the total number of atoms in 1 mole of calcium? 6.02 X 10^23
Why do exothermic reactions feel warm? Exothermic reactions release more energy than they absorb
When breaking bonds energy is ___ where as when making bonds energy is ____. absorbed, released
Describe why an endothermic reaction feels cold. Be sure to include information about energy changes in bond breaking and bond making. More energy is absorbed to break bonds than is released when bonds are made, overall energy is absorbed so it feels cold
Exothermic: ___ energy is stored in bonds, released as ___ in products potential energy, kinetic
Endothermic: ____ energy is used to break bonds, stored as ___ energy in products Kinetic energy, potential energy
In exothermic reactions is more or less energy released? More
In exothermic reactions, are bonds broken stronger or weaker? Weaker
In exothermic reactions, kinetic energy is lower or higher in the reactions compared to the products? lower
In exothermic reactions, is the potential energy lower or higher in the products? higher
In endothermic reactions, is more or less energy released? Less
In endothermic reactions, are the bonds broken stronger or weaker than the bonds formed? stronger
In endothermic reactions, kinetic energy is lower or higher in the reactions compared to the products? higher
In endothermic reactions is the potential energy lower or higher in the products? higher
Summarize the law of conservation of energy energy can neither be created nor destroyed
When comparing the three states of matter, which state has the most kinetic energy and which has the least kinetic energy? Most: gas Least: solid
Define Feul Substance that is burned in a combustion reaction, contains CO2 and H2O in products
Define chemical change a process in which some substances change into different substances
Synthesis Reaction A + B = AB
Decomposition Reaction: AB = A + B
Single Replacement Reaction: A + BC = AC + B
Double Replacement Reaction AB + CD = AD + CB
Combustion Reaction: Ch4 + 2O2 = CO2 +2H2O
Which bond lengths are the easiest to break? Which are the hardest to break> Shortest: more energy/ harder Longest: less energy/easier
When breaking bonds, energy is ___ absorbed
When making bonds energy is ____ released
Valence Electrons Define Outer electrons involved in bonding
Nonpolar equal sharing of electrons
Polar Unequal Sharing of electrons
Define covalent bonds bond between nonmetals where all atoms have full outer valence shell through sharing electrons
Define Cation Positive metal ion, LOSES electrons
Define Anion Negative non metal ion, GAINS electrons
How does water dissolve salts? Water´s partial charges ( water is polar) attract salt charges (ions) and pulls them apart
What do you call the columns on the periodic table? Groups
What patterns do we see in melting point/ boiling point for polar covalent substances? have higher melting/boiling points due to stronger attractions between molecules (have partial charges)
What patterns do we see in melting point/ boiling point for nonpolar covalent substances? have lower melting/boiling points due to weak attractions between molecules ( they have no partial charges)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
