Answer 6

A positive ion, one that has more protons than electrons

Question 7

Anion

Answer 7

a negative ion that , one that has more electrons than protons

Question 8

Isotopes

Answer 8

Atoms of an element that differ in the number of neurons.

Question 9

define orbital

Answer 9

Areas around a nucleus where electrons are likely to be found

Question 10

Name the four and their shapes

Answer 10

S orbital - Sphere shaped\
P orbital - infinity shaped
d orbital - dumbbell shaped
f orbital - clover leaf shaped

Question 11

Explain why isotopes of an element behave the same

Answer 11

Electrons determine the chemical behaviour of an atom, since isotopes have the same amount of electrons, they will behave in the same manner.

Question 12

Energy levels

Answer 12

Discrete levels that correspond with the quanta( specific amount of energy)
The further an electron is from the nucleus, the higher t its potential energy

Answer 14

The force that gravity exerts on an object

Question 15

organic compounds are made of

Answer 15

carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen

Question 16

Nobel Gases

Answer 16

elements that have eight electrons in their outermost energy level, which makes them non - reactive and stable

molecule

Answer 17

a group of atoms held together by energy in a stable association

Question 18

ionic bonds

Answer 18

bonds that result when ions with opposite charges attract one another

Question 19

covalent bonds

Answer 19

bonds that result when atoms share one or ore pairs of electrons , the strength increases with the number of shared electrons

Question 20

Polar covalent bonds

Answer 20

Formed by unequal sharing of electrons

Results in some partially negative and some partially positive parts of a molecule

Question 21

Nonpolar covalent Bond

Answer 21

Formed by equal sharing of electrons

Question 22

Answer 31

the weight of a substance in grams that corresponds with the atomic masses of all of the atoms in a molecule of that substance

Question 32

PH Scale

Answer 32

( power of hydrogen)
A more convenient way of expressing the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution. it expresses the concentration as the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of the hydrogen ion

Answer 37

12

Question 38

How does the structure of water lead to the formation of hydrogen bonds

Answer 38

the polar covalent bonds in water molecules lead to the formation of hydrogen bonds

Question 39

Which properties of water lead to capillarity

Answer 39

cohesion and adhesion

Question 40

Describe how hydrogen bonding affects the properties of water

Answer 40

solid water is less dense than liquid water because the hydrogen bonds space the molecules further apart
