Question | Answer |
Redox Reactions | Oxidation and Reduction |
Oxidation | -Lose electrons -Originally, meant the combination of an element with oxygen to form an oxide Ex. Mg : →Mg2+ + 2e- |
Reduction | -Gain electrons -Ex. : S : : + 2e- → : : S : : 2- |
Reducing Agents | -opposite of the reducing |
Oxidizing Agent | -opposite of reducing |
Electrometallurgy | Electric current supplies electrons |
Pyrometallurgy | Treating with thermal energy (heat) to provide electrons |
Hydrometallurgy | Using water with chemicals to gain electrons |
Five nonmetals that are gas at RT | Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine |
Two liquid elements | Bromine, Mercury |
protons | subatomic particle with a charge of +1 |
Electrons | subatomic particle with a charge of -1 |
Neutrons | subatomic particles with no charge number of neutrons determines the isotope of the element |
Isotopes | Isotopes are different types of atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons |
Atomic Number | • Always the number of protons the element has • Uniquely identifies the element • Always a whole number |
Mass Number | • Number of Protons and Neutrons (found in nucleus)…always a whole number. |
Atomic Mass (amu) | Mass of protons, electrons, and neutrons AVERAGED |
metals | • Lose electrons more easily that Non-Metals • Have higher melting points than non-metals • Are shiny (lustrous) • React with acids…many also react to copper (II) chloride • Conduct electricity and heat • Malleable/ductile |
non metals | • Gain electrons easily (anions) • Dull and brittle • Poor conductors of heat and electricity • Lower melting points than metals---also lower densities |
metalloids | • Physically and chemically between metals and non-metals • Boron (B), Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te), Polonium (Po) |
Atmosphere | •Layer of gases held by the earth’s gravity •75% of the atmosphere is within 6.8 miles of the earth’s surface •78% is nitrogen (N2), 21% is oxygen (O2), 0.9% argon (Ar), and the rest, trace gasses |
Hydrosphere | The combined mass of water on, under and over the surface of the earth |
Lithosphere | The Crust and Upper Mantle Provides greatest variety of chemical resources |
Mineral | • Naturally occurring solid chemical substance formed through geological processes |
Ore | • Naturally occurring mineral or rock (an aggregate of minerals) with important elements such as metals • Is mined to extract a metal or other material |
Decisions about mining at a specific site | • Quantity of ore at the site • % of metal in the ore • Type of mining needed to extract the metal from ore • Distance of refining • Supply vs demand • Environmental impact |
