18
Q

Why do atoms react to other atoms?

A

Atoms react with other atoms because they lose, gain and share electrons to complete their outer shells. Atoms can bond together by ionic bonds or covalent bonds.

19
Q

What are ionic bonds?

A

Ionic bonds happen between a metal and a non-metal. The metal becomes a positive ion and the non-metal becomes a negative ion and they attract by an electrostatic force. (Kinda like the positive and negative magnets)

20
Q

What are covalent bonds?

A

Covalent bonds happen between non-metals. They share their electrons to complete their outer shell. For example two hydrogen atoms attaching to eachother.

21
Q

What do acids produce?

A

Positive hydrogen ions in water

22
Q

What do alkalis produce?

A

Negative hydroxide ions in water

23
Q

What is an aqueous solution?

A

A solution that is dissolved in water

24
Q

What are the different ways to find the PH of an alkaline or an acid?

A
  • Universal Indicator
  • Cabbage solution
  • Litnus strips
25
Q

What is an exothermic reaction?

A

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise.

26
Q

What is an endothermic reaction?

A

An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.

27
Q

word equation for the neutralization of an acid plus a base

A

NaOH → H 2 O OH- + Na

28
Q

what are two compounds that can neutralize an acid

A

Metal oxides and alkalis are two types of base
