Chapter 6: Ions - Charged Particles in Matter

Question 1

what is ionization?

Answer 1

ionization is the process of forming ions

- the reaction can go in either direction

Question 2

What happens during the ionization of water?

Answer 2

• a hydrogen breaks away and becomes a positively charged hydrogen ion that combines with water to form a hydronium ion
• the hydrogen ion remaining in the OH group shares an electron with an oxygen forming a negatively charged hydroxide ion

Question 3

What are acids?

Answer 3

acids produce hydrogen and hydronium ions in water-based solutions and have a positive charge

Question 4

What are bases?

Answer 4

bases produce hydroxide ions in water based solutions and have a negative charge

Question 5

What are neutral substances?

Answer 5

acids and bases form a compound with ionic bonds, called Salts
- neutral substances have a balance of positive and negative substances

Question 6

How do bases feel?

bases have a bitter taste

Question 8

what do acids taste like?

Answer 8

Question 9

What are organic dyes?

Answer 9

are colour pigments that change colour with the presence of acids or bases
-bases tun litmus paper blue and acids turn it red

Question 10

Like organic dyes acids and bases do what?

Answer 10

acids and bases affect fruits and vegetables like organic dyes
- green vegetables turn brighter in when a base is added during cooking
