Chapter 2 (part A) Flashcards
Acidic Solutions
Have a high H+ concentration
- Release hydrogen ions (H+) when they dissociate in water
Atomic number
Number of protons in the nucleus
Horizontal rows in the Periodic Table
Periods
pH Scale
Used to indicate the acidity or basicity of solutions.
Ranges from 0-14. 0 most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 most basic
Atomic Structure
Made up by 3 subatomic particles: Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Elements
All matter, living and nonliving, are composed of certain basic substances
Use of Periodic Table
To group the elements w/similar characteristics
Ionic bond
When a (+) charged ion forms a bond with a (-) charged ion and one atom transfers electrons to another to complete an octet
Hydrogen bond
polarity within a water molecule causes the hydrogen atoms in one molecule to be attracted to the oxygen atoms in other water molecules
Basic Solutions
Have a low H+ concentration
- Take up hydrogen ions (H+) or release hydroxide ions (OH-)
Atom
Is the smallest part of an element that displays the properties of the element
Covalent Bond
When 2 atoms share electrons.
The number of bonds that each element is able to form is equal to the number of unpaired electrons
Properties of Water
High Heat Capacity High Heat of Vaporization Solvent Cohesive and Adhesive Frozen Water is less dense than Liquid Water
Mass Number
Number of protons and neutrons
Protons
Positively Charged
