| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Water is considered to be matter even though it often appears in a liquid form. This is explained by stating that like all matter, water has ____________________ and takes up space. | mass |
| The ____________________ properties of sulphur include that it usually forms solid yellow crystals, and has a melting point of 115ºC. | physical |
| An unknown sample that cannot be broken down any more by using chemical methods must be a(n) ____________________. | element |
| Types of ____________________ include mechanical such as salad, suspensions like salad dressing, and solutions like iced tea. | mixtures matter |
| The subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus and which has a charge is the ____________________. | proton |
| The only important thing all of the elements in the same ____________________ on the periodic table have in common is the number of electron shells they have. | period row |
| The most reactive group of elements on the metal side of the periodic table is _________________________. | alkali metals group 1 family 1 |
| The pattern of electrons appearing in the first three shells of the Bohr diagrams of elements is ____________________. | 2, 8, 8 |
| A(n) ____________________ compound forms when, for example, a metal element and a non-metal element join by transferring electrons from the metal to the non-metal. | ionic |
| The name of the ionic compound K2S is _________________________. | potassium sulphide |
| Carbonate, CO32–, is a _________________________, a group of elements that behave like a single ion. | polyatomic ion |
| When two non-metals form a molecular compound, their electrons are shared in a ____________________ bond. | covalent, molecular |
| Acid | a compound that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Chemical Formula usually HX(X = monatomic or polyatomic ion). Chemical formula = H+ |
| Base | a compound that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Bases are named as if they were ionic compounds (the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion). |
| Hydroxide Ion | A water molecule that loses a hydrogen ion and thus becomes negatively charged. Hydroxide ions are denoted OH-. (Do not conf. with hydronium ion) |
| Hydronium Ion | A water molecule that gains a hydrogen ion and thus becomes positively charged. Hydronium ions are denoted H3O+. (Do not conf. with hydroxide ion) |
| Neutral Solution | any aqueous solution in which [H+] and [OH-] are equal. For example pure water is a neutral substance. pH = 7.0 ([H+] = 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L) |
| Acidic Solution | When the [H+] is greater than the [OH-]. Thus, the [H+] of an acidic solution is always greater than 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L. (don’t mix up with basic) |
| Basic Solution | When the [H+] is less than the [OH-]. Thus, the [H+] of an acidic solution is always less than 1.0 x 10-7 mol/L. (don’t mix up with Acidic) |
| Alkaline Solutions | another name for a basic solution. |
| pH | the negative logarithm of the hydrogen-ion concentration. pH=-log[H+]. Always express in scientific notation. |
| A reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds | Decomposition Reaction |
| A number written in front of a chemical formula | Coefficient |
| A solid produced during a chemical reaction in a solution | Precipitate |
| A solution in which the solvent is water | Aqueous Solution |

| Substance dissolved in a solution | Solute |
| A reaction in which oxygen combines with a substances and releases heat and light energy | Combustion Reaction |
| A reaction in which the atoms of one element replace the atoms of another element in a compound | Single Replacement Reaction |
| A reaction involving the exchange of positive ions between two compounds dissolved in water | Double Replacement Reaction |
| The process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances | Chemical Reaction |
| A starting substance in a chemical reaction | Reactant |
| A substance formed during a chemical reaction | Product |
| A reaction in which two or more substances react to produce a single product | Synthesis Reaction |
| The most plentiful substance in a solution | Solvent |
| What type of reaction does the following describe: Reactants - One Products - Two or more | Decomposition Reaction |
| What type of reaction does the following describe: Reactants - Two Compounds Products - Two Compounds | Double Replacement Reaction |
