chemical properties Flashcards
solute
the solid substance being dissolved
solvent
the liquid that dissolves the solute
solution
when a solute dissolves in a solvent
soluble
a substance that can dissolve in a solvent
insoluble
a substance that cannot dissolve in a solvent
miscible
two liquids that can dissolve into each other
immiscible
two liquids that cannot dissolve into each other
volatile
easily turns from a liquid to a gas
chemical reactivity of alkanes and alkenes (7)
not reactive, low melting and boiling points, volatile, weak intermolecular forces, smelly, don’t conduct heat or electricity, not soluble in water
melting and boiling points
as the number of carbon atoms increases, and therefore length of chain increases, the melting and boiling point increases.
