Q

Proton

A

a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron.

17
Q

Electron

A

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.

18
Q

Neutron

A

a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

19
Q

Solution

A

a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).

20
Q

Aqueous

A

like water , watery

21
Q

Activity Series

A

The activity series is a useful guide for predicting the products of metal displacement reactions.

22
Q

Cation

A

a positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

23
Q

Anion

A

a negatively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the anode in electrolysis.

24
Q

Ionic Compound

A

Ionic Compounds Are Balanced. Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorine ions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become Cl-.

25
Q

Molecule

A

a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.

26
Q

Compound

A

a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.
