Properties of H20
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acid | add h+ to solution |
| Adhesion | water molecules sticking to other substances |
| atomic number | number of protons in an element |
| base | add OH- to solution |
| buffer | molecules that combine with hydrogen ions, release them , or both- stabalize pH |
| chemical bonds | hold atoms together- determined by electron behavior |
| cohesion | water molecules sticking to eachother |
| compounds | A substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific proportions |
| Covalent Bond | Sharing of electrons |
| electrons | move around nucleus in energy levels |
| elements | pure substances made of one type of atom |
| energy levels | contain electrons in 2, 8, 18 order |
| H+ ions | added to a solution in acid, concentration expressed as pH |
| hydrophilic | polar substance that is attracted to the polar water molecule; disolves easily in water ex: sugar |
| hydrophobic | nonpolar substance that is repelled by polar water molecule; doesn't readily dissolve in water ex: oil |
| ionic bond | transfer of electrons; attraction of opposite charges |
| isotope | atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons |
| negative | ? |
| neutrons | equal to the number of protons and weight |
| nonpolar | hydrophobic |
| OH- ions | Bases add these to substances, raising the pH |
| pH | the acidity of a solution |
| polar | hydrophilic |
| positive | a |
| protons | atomic number- # of neutrons and electrons |
| solute | substance that is dissolved in water |
| solution | solvent+solute |
| solvent | substance that dissolves solutes |
| specific heat | energy absorbed before heating up |
| surface tension | forms a thin layer over its surface (water has high st) |
