Chem culminating final lab Flashcards
What is the difference between molecular and ionic compounds
Ionic compounds contain a metal
Substances with a pH of 7=
natural
Substances with a pH of less than 7=
acidic
Substances with a pH of more than 7=
bases
The closer the acid/base is to 7…
the weaker it is
What are bases?
A substance is a base if it contains OH-
