| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define Electronegativity | -When one atom atracts electrons from a smaller atom, and against a negative charge. -The pull that one atom has for an electron. |
| Rusult when at atoms differ... | You will get a polar-covalent bond. |
| Solute | Whatever is being mixed with the solvent to create a solution. (sugar, salt, koolaid...) |
| Solvent | Often water. Water liquid the solute is mixed with to make a solution. |
| Atomic Number | The number of protons in an atom. |
| Protons | positive charged particles in the atoms nucleus. they have mass. |
| Electrons | Negatively charged particles orbiting the outside of the atom (in the electron cloud). Hardly any mass at all. |
| Electron Arrangement | Two electrons can fit in the inner belt/ring and eight electrons can fit on each of the two outer belt/rings. Electrons are desperate to have a complete outer belt/ring. |
| Covalent Bond | form when electrons are shared between two atoms. |
| Polar covalent Bonds | Unequal sharing of electrons; example- water |
| Non polar covalent Bonds | Equal sharing of electrons between two atoms. |
| Ionic Bonds | Permenant exchanges of electrons, very strong bond. |
| Hydrogen Bonds | Can form between two polar molecules. a weak attraction between the negative region of one polar molecule to the positive region of another polar molecule. |
| Which bond dissociates in water? | Ionic bond breaks appart in water (example- salt) |
| Which Bonds are common in living system | Covalent bonds are common in living beings since they can withstand a watery environment. |
| Isotopes | Atoms of a single element that differ in their number of neutrons. |
| Stable | When an atom's outer belt/ring is full of electrons. |
| Reactivity of atoms are? | Atoms react with one another to form molecules and to acheive full stability. |
| Reactivity of atoms depend on? | the number of electrons in the atoms outer belt/ring. |
| PH- and H+ difference as ph changes | Each increment on the pH scale represents a 10x difference. A soulution at pH 4 have 10x more acidity than a solution at pH 5. The greater the H+ concentration the lower the pH. The lower the H+ concentration the greater the pH. |
| Acid | Subatances which increasee H+ concentration when added to water. |
| Base | Substances which increase the OH- concentration when added to water. |
| Define- Ion | Atoms that have a charge. Either positive or negative. |
| What are the unique characteristics of water? | Water molecules are polar and form hydrogen bonds with one another. Cohesion and adhesion. Water warms up and cools down slowly. water has a high specific heat. Water dissolves in other polar substances. Frozen water (ice) is less dense that liquid w |
| Molecular Structure of Water | water is two hydrogen molecules connected to an oxygen molecule. the water molecules are polar. they have a slight charge and so they cling to one another a bit. |
| Acid pH levels | 6 to 1 on the pH scale is Acidic. 6 being low acidity and 1 being VERY acidic. |
| Base pH levels | 8 to 10 on the pH scale measures the base. 8 being a weak base and 10 being strong. |
