CHEM 2A: CH 1-10 Flashcards
Combination Reactions
2 Chemical species combining to become one
A+B —-> AB
Gases Behave Most Ideally at ____
low pressure and high temperature
Boyle’s Law
Relationship b/w pressure and volume
P1V1 = P2V2
Combined Gas Law
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
PV = nRT
P = atm V = L n = moles R = (L)(atm)/(k)(mol) T = Kelvin
Bond Order
1/2 number of valence electrons in bonding orbitals - number of electrons in anti-bonding orbitals
Molecular Orbital Theory (MO Theory)
Molecular orbitals are a combination of atomic orbitals, delocalized around the molecule
pi-Bond
P-P interaction, perpendicular to the internuclear axis
Sigma-Bond
Where the orbitals overlap in the internuclear axis
Hybrid Orbitals
Are localized (found on a specific point on molecules)
Hybridization
Atomic orbitals (s,p,d,f) mix together to give hybrid orbitals
Ground State
Lowest energy state
Orbital
3-d probability density predicting the most likely position where electrons cam be found
Decomposition Reactions
A single reactant compound breaks down into two or more product substances
AB—-> A + B
Law of Combining Volumes
When gases at the same temperature and pressure react, the reactant and product volumes in a ratio of small whole numbers
Bohr Model of H Atom
- Electrons in orbitals of different energy around nucleaous
- Energy of electron are quantized on orbitals (not in between)
- Different energy levels hold different numbers of electrons
Reversibility
Indicated by the double arrow
————–>
Double Replacement Reactions
When solids of 2 compounds in aqueous solutions are mixed a positive ion from one species may combine with a negative ion from the other species to form a precipitate.
AX + BY ——> AY + BX
Single Replacement Reactions
One element replaces one of the ions in a compound
A + BX —–>AX + B
Neutralization Reactions
Reaction b/w acid and base (forms water and a salt)
7 Strong Acids
HNO3 (Nitric Acid) H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) HBr (Hydrobromic Acid) HI (Hydroiodic Acid) HClPO3 (Chloric Acid) HClO4 (Perchloric Acid)
Scientific Notation
- 1 none-zero digit to the left of the decimal
- When decimal moves left, exponent increases
- When decimal moves right, exponent decreases
