QuestionAnswer
What are intermolecular forces? Forces that occur between different molecules.
What are intramolecular forces? Forces that occur within a molecule
What is an ionic bond? A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
What is a metallic bond? A bond formed by the attraction between metal atoms and the surrounding sea of electrons.
What is a covalent bond? A bond formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
What is the correct name for NiO? Nickel (II) oxide.
What is the most ionic compound among given options? The compound with the highest melting point is typically the most ionic.
What is the most likely covalent compound? The compound with the lowest melting point is typically covalent.
What is the relationship between ionic character and electronegativity? Greater differences in electronegativity typically indicate greater ionic character.
What are cations? Positively charged ions that typically result from the loss of electrons.
What are anions? Negatively charged ions that typically result from the gain of electrons.
What is the most dominant intermolecular force in water? Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the high surface tension of water.
What does VSEPR theory state? It states that electron pairs want to be as far apart as possible due to repulsion.
What is viscosity? The measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
What is a precipitate? A solid produced from two aqueous solutions in a chemical reaction.
What does (aq) represent in a chemical equation? It indicates that a substance is dissolved in water.
What is the molecular shape of CH4? The molecular shape of CH4 is tetrahedral.
What is the molecular shape for a molecule with three bonding pairs and one lone pair? The molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal.
What is the strongest intermolecular force? Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole and London dispersion forces.
What is the weakest intermolecular force? London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular force.
What type of bond is not considered intramolecular? Intermolecular bonds such as hydrogen bonds are not intramolecular.
What is the molecular shape for an element with 2 electron domains? The molecular shape is linear.
What is the evidence of a chemical change? A reaction that produces gas
What type of reaction is HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)? It is a double replacement reaction.
What is a double replacement reaction? A chemical reaction where two compounds exchange ions or bonds to form two new compounds.
What is combustion? A chemical reaction that typically involves the reaction of a substance with oxygen
What is an endothermic reaction? A reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings
What does it mean for a reaction to be in equilibrium? The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
What is evidence of a chemical reaction? Indicators such as the formation of a precipitate
What is true about chemical equilibrium? At equilibrium
What is Le Chatelier's principle? A principle stating that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium
What is a synthesis reaction? A type of reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.
What is molar mass? The mass of one mole of a substance
What is the theoretical yield? The maximum amount of product that could be formed from a given amount of reactants
What is actual yield? The amount of product that is actually produced in a chemical reaction
What is percent yield? The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield
What is Avogadro's number? The number of particles (atoms
What is a limiting reactant? The reactant that is completely consumed first in a reaction
What is an excess reactant? The reactant that remains after a chemical reaction has completed
What is the difference between empirical and molecular formulas? The empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms
What is surface tension? The resistance of a liquid's surface to being broken
What is the kinetic-molecular theory? A theory that explains the behavior of gases in terms of particles in constant motion
What is capillary action? The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces
What is diffusion? The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
What is a crystalline solid? A solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure
What is an amorphous solid? A solid that lacks a well-defined structure or long-range order
What is fluidity? The ability of a substance to flow; liquids and gases are considered fluids.
What is compressibility? The ability of a substance to decrease in volume under pressure
What is the state of matter with a definite shape and volume? Solid state.
What is the state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape? Liquid state.
What is the state of matter with neither a definite shape nor a definite volume? Gaseous state.
What are metallic bonds? Bonds found in metals where electrons are delocalized and not associated with any single atom.
What is a cation? A positively charged ion that has lost one or more electrons.
What is an anion? A negatively charged ion that has gained one or more electrons.
What is VSEPR theory? A theory that predicts the shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs.
What are London dispersion forces? Weak intermolecular forces that arise from temporary dipoles in molecules.
What are dipole-dipole interactions? Attractions between permanent dipoles in polar molecules.
What are hydrogen bonds? Strong intermolecular forces that occur between molecules containing hydrogen bonded to electronegative atoms like F
What is an empirical formula? A formula that shows the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound.
What is a molecular formula? A formula that shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
What is a mole? A unit used to quantify the amount of substance
What is an exothermic reaction? A reaction that releases energy to its surroundings.
What is chemical equilibrium? A state in a chemical reaction where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
What is the significance of molecular weight? It is used to calculate the number of moles in a given mass of a substance.
