GRCC B121 Chapt 2

BI 121 Chapter 2- chemistry quiz

QuestionAnswer
Chemical Heirachy: Matter > ____________ >atom/element > compound, molecule, & mixture s.a particles
Chemical Heirachy: _______ > s.a. particles > atom/element > compound, molecule, and mixtures. Matter
Chemical Heirachy: Matter > s.a. Particles > atom/element > ____, _____, _______ Compound, molecule, and mixture
Chemical Heirachy: matter > s.a. particles > ____/______, compound, molecule, and mixtures. atom/element
Examples of Chemical Heirachy: Matter > s.a. particles > atom/element, molecule, and mixtures. electrons, neutrons, quarks, etc.
Nucleas Contains protons and nuetrons
Protons Positive charge
Neutrons Neutral - no charge
Electrons Negative charge
Valence shell The outermost shell/energy level of an atom
contains Chemically reactive electrons Valence shell
What happens if a valence shell is not filled with electrons? It will form bonds with other atoms
Antyhing that occupies space and has mass Matter
Atom Smallest unit of matter that retains properties of an element.
A substance that can't be broken down into other substances (normally) Element
A group of 2 or more atoms held together by a covalent bond Molecule.
Molecule containing 2 or more elements in a fixed ratio compound
Compound CHO, NaCL, and H20 are example of what?
What is a mixture? This contains 2 or more ELEMENTS mixed in varying ratios. Bonds may not form
homogenous something of the same genetic structure.
A liquid homogenous mixture of 2 or more elements solution
Number of protons equals Atomic number.
Atomic number Number of protons is this. It is the same for all atoms of a particular element and unique for each element.
The sum of protons and neutrons Atomic Mass/Weight (AKA Mass number)
A variant form of an element...an element that contains a variant number of neutrons. Isotopes
Example of an Isotope 12C 13C 14C
Radioactive isotope (radioisotope) Isotope with an unstable nucleus.
An Isotope with an unstable nucleus, decays and emits energy and particles. Radioactive isotope (radioisotope)
Radioactive isotope (radioisotope) Have the same atomic number and function the same metabolically as a regular isotopes.
An atom that has gained or lost an electron. Ion
Ion's These atoms gained or lost an electron, therefore are either (-) or (+).
Examples of Ion's Na+ or Cl-
Chemical reactions involved in making or breaking a bond. Atomic bonding
Atomic Bonding- making or breaking a bond Atoms attempt to fill their outer shells/orbits with the Max number of electrons possible.
Rule of eights Octet Rule
Octet Rule Rule of eights- where atoms are reactive until they have 8 electrons in their valence shell, therefore form bonds.
When atoms have filled valence shells they are considered... stable or inert, there fore will not form chemical bonds.
Atoms with filled valence shells are considered stable or inert, there fore can not form chemical bonds.
Examples of stable or inert atoms He or Ar
Electrons are accepted or donated Ionic bonds
Nacl Example of an Ionic bond - electrons are accepted or donated.
Electron pairs are shared Covalent bonds
Examples of covalent bonds H2 = H-H (I pair shared) O2 = O -O (2 pairs shared) N2 = N - N (3 pairs shared)
Covalent bond- Non Polar Both atoms exert equal pull on the shared electrons (e.g. H2)
Covalent Bond - Polar One atom exerts more pull on the shared electrons due to its extra protons (e.g. H2O : H-O-H)
Slightly positive (+) H in H2O+ forms a weak bond with other molecules. No electrons are actually shared Hydrogen bonds
Examples of Hydrogen Bonds Bonding in water, tertiary structure in protein or other polar bonds involving H.
Bond that Share electrons equally covalent non-polar bond
Bond that does not share electrons equally. covalent polar bond
Reactant Chemical being changed by a reaction. Na + Cl =NaCl
Products Chemicals produced by a reaction.Na + Cl =NaCl
Chemical Reaction: Synthesis Production of a MORE COMPLEX molecule than either of the reactants. Na + Cl = NaCl
Product is a LESS COMPLEX molecule than either reactant...NaCl = Na(+) + Cl(-) Decomposition
Exchange Reaction Involves both synthesis and decomposition.
Products can change back to the reactions & vice versa... NaCl = Na(+) + Cl(-) or Na(+) + CL(-) = NaCl Reversible Reaction
Catalyst Molecule that increases the rate of reaction but is not consumed by it.
pH Potential Hydrogen
Substances that release ions in water Electrolytes
Example of electrolyte NaCl + H2O = Na(+) + Cl(-) + H2O
Electrolytes that RELEASES H(+)ions Acid
Examples of Acid HCl
Electrolytes that accepts H(+) ions Base (alkali)
Examples of Base (alkali) NaOH
Electrolyte formed by the reaction of a acid and a base Salt
Examples of salt HCl + NaOH = H20 + NaCl
Substances that resist changes in pH by accepting or donating H(+) ions Buffer
Measurement of the H(+) ion concentration. Ph Scale
0-14: each unit a 10x change Ph scale
Solution is made up of? Solvents and solutes
Solvent The dissolving agent
Solutes The substance that is dissolved.
