C3 Flashcards
Structure of ionic compounds
a regular arrangement of alternating positive
and negative ions
Electrical conductivity of the two
Ionic compounds - conduct electricity when melted. covalent compounds - poor conductor in all states
Solubility
Ionic Compounds - soluble in water but not nonpolar liquid. Covalent compounds - Many soluble in nonpolar liquids but not in water.
MP and BP
Ionic compounds - High MP and BP. Covalent compounds - Low MP and BP.
Physical Change
are generally reversible and no new product is formed
Chemical Change
are generally permanent and a new product if formed
Element
consists of atoms of the same kind
Compound
consists of different elements chemically combined
Mixture
Consists of two or more substances which have been combined such that each substance retains it’s own chemical identity
Solvent
Substance that dissolves a solute
Solute
Substance that dissolves in a solvent
Solution
Mixture formed by a solvent and a solute
Saturated Solution
Solution where no more solute can dissolve(anymore solute that is added will settle at the bottom.)
Concentration
A measure of how ‘crowded’ the solute particles are. The more concentrated the solution, the more particles it contains in a given volume.
