Q

What are ions

A

In a single atom, chargé results from having either more electrons or less electrons than protons.
More electrons than protons= negative charge
Less electrons than protons= positive charge

Q

Describe the 5 step cross over rule

A
  1. Write ions side by side (metals first
  2. Write the ion charge
  3. Cross-over to determine number of each element
  4. The number from the charge of 1st ion gives the number of the 2nd ion and vice versa.
  5. Simplify and/or drop any “1”

A substance that allows an electric current to flow through the solution

44
Q

What is electrolytic dissociation

A

The separation of a dissolved compound into 2 ions of opposite charges

45
Q

A

Na+1 (aq) + Cl-1 (aq)

46
Q

What is the electrolytic conductivity of a solution

A

It’s a measure of its ability to allow an electric current to flow through it during to the ions carrying the change

47
Q

what does the strength of an electrolyte depend on

A

on its degree of dissociation:
- some dissociate 100% into ions so they carry electricity easily
- some dissociate into few ions so they carry electricity weakly
- some do not dissociate at all so they do not carry electricity at all.

59
Q

explain what neutralization is

A

acids and bases neutralize each other and the product is always neutral.

60
