21
Q

Solvent

A

substance in greatest quantity

22
Q

Solute

A

substance in lesser amount

23
Q

Colloids

A

heterogeneous mixture that appears milky - like solution except particles larger scatter light

24
Q

Suspensions

A

heterogeneous mixture with particles large enough to settle out if given time

25
Q

Mixture

A

no chemical bonding between components - easy to separate out the substances of a mixture

26
Q

Compound

A

chemical bonding occurs - very difficult to separate - think of plain water

27
Q

Electron shells

A

the space that electrons occupy

28
Q

Valence Shell

A

outermost shell

29
Q

Octet Rule

A

atoms (except hydrogen) want 8 electrons in valence shell

30
Q

Anion

A

gains the electron

31
Q

Cation

A

loses the electron

32
Q

Covalent bond

A

occur by the sharing of electron pairs

33
Q

Single covalent bond

A

one electron pair

34
Q

double covalent bond

A

two electron pairs

35
Q

triple covalent bond

A

three electron pairs

36
Q

nonpolar compounds

A

electrically balanced - charges shared equally

37
Q

polar compounds

A

due to unequal electron sharing

38
Q

hydrogen bonds

A

due to polarity of the water molecules and are weak (therefore easily broken)

39
Q

reactants

A

substances entering reactions

40
Q

products

A

substances formed by a chemical reaction

41
Q

Synthesis Reaction

A

chemical bonds are formed A+B=AB

42
Q

Decomposition Reaction

A

chemical bonds are broken AB=A+B

43
Q

Exchange Reaction

A

Includes both decomposition and synthesis

AB+CD =AD + BC

44
Q

Oxidation-Reduction (redox)

A

Combo of decomposition and electron exchange reactions

45
Q

Electron donor is oxidized

A

Na loses an electron to Cl

46
Q

Electron acceptor is reduced

A

CL receives an electron from Na

47
Q

Endergonic Reaction

A

absorb energy - requires energy makes bonds (stores energy)

48
Q

Exergonic Reaction

A

release energy - produces energy (bonds are broken)

49
Q

Temperature

A

higher temp creates faster particle movement and increases rate of rxn

50
Q

Concentration

A

increase concentration increase rxn rate

51
Q

Particle size

A

smaller particle leads to increase of rxn rate

52
Q

Catalyst

A

increase rate of rxns - body uses enzymes - brings chemicals closer together - not changed by rxn
