23
Q

Does a cation lose or gain electrons? charge? which is the cation in NaCl,

A

Lose, +, Na

24
Q

Does an anion lose or gain electrons? charge? which is the anion in NaCl,

A

Gain, -, Cl

25
Q

Acid has ______ H+ and ____ OH- causing a ______ pH scale,

A

More; less; lower

26
Q

Bases have ______ H+ and ____ OH- causing a ______ pH scale,

A

Less, more; higher

27
Q

How would adding a buffer bring a soultions pH up?,

A

The OH- in th ebase would remove the H+ from the solution, increasing the pH

28
Q

Define a chemical element,

A

A substance that can be broken down into simpler substances via chemical processes

29
Q

what 4 elements make up 96% of the human body?,

A

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen

30
Q

What is the difference btw an element and a compound,

A

A compound is a mixture of elements, elements are made of atoms

31
Q

what makes up atoms,

A

Protons, Neutrons, Electrons

32
Q

Explain the processes that result in chemical reaction,

A

chemical bonds break & the atoms separate & rearrange themselves into new substances w/ new chimcal bonds

33
Q

What is atomic mass,

A

Protons + neutrons

34
Q

What are the 3 types of chemical bonds, how do they form, and how strong are they,

A

covalent: strongest, sharing of electrons Ionic: give/take electrons Hydrogen: weakest, bond of hydrogen atoms

35
Q

How is the attraction of electrons related to the polar covalent bonds in water,

A

Hydrogen is positive and the oxygen is negitive which is why water molecules can bond with other water molecules

36
Q

What is an aqueous soultion? what is a solvent and solute?,

A

Aqueous: water solution Solvent: dissolving agent Solute: Substance dissolving

37
Q

What is a pH buffer and how does it work,

A

A soultion of weak acid & base that resists a change in pH following addition of small amounts of a strong base. A buffer can Accept H+ if its pH gets low (weak base role) or donate H+ if the pH gets high (weak acid role)

38
Q

Further the shell from the center, ____ the pull

A

greater

39
Q

In each shell, electrons are orgainized into _______. There are __ in the first shell and __ in every shell after

A

orbitals; 2; 4

40
Q

What is electronegativity

A

an atoms attraction for shared electrons

41
Q

Does H have a strong or weak electronegativity

A

weak

42
Q

Does N(7) have a strong or weak electronegaitvity

A

strong

43
Q

Bonds with __ & __ are usually nonpolar

A

C & H

44
Q

Bonds with __ & __ are usually polar

A

O & N

45
Q

define endothermic

A

heat is absorbed to break H bonds

46
Q

Define Exothermic

A

Heat is released to form H bonds

47
Q

Acid ____ H+ Ions

A

donates

48
Q

Base ____ H+ ions

A

accepts
