CHEM TEST STUDYYY Flashcards
Nonpolar Covalent
Electrons shared EQUALLY, same EN (equal pull for electrons)
Polar Covalent
Electrons shared UNEQUALLY, diff. EN (pull for electrons uneven)
higher electronegativity because..
more protons in nucleus
Why would two atoms with same EN form a nonpolar covalent bond?
Because they are equal
water is the universal
solvent
Why is water polarity important?
To help dissolve things, creates a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on oxygen, contributing to water’s properties of attraction.
polar molecule
uneven
nonpolar molecule
even
pH of 1-6
acid
pH of 7
neutral
pH 8-14
base
If the pH of a solution is increased from pH 5 to pH 7, it means that the
100 times less than what it was at pH 5
A buffer released H+ when solutions get more __________
basic
A buffer absorbs H+ when the solution gets more
acidic
hydroliphic
polar covalent compounds
