Q

Properties of ionic compounds

A

high melting point: tends to be solid since the crystal lattice is so strong, lots of energy is needed to melt into liquid

most ionic compounds are soluble: water is a polar molecule (some electrons aren’t shared equally), and a lot of H2O molecules can have enough force to detach an ion

Conduct electricity: when in liquid/aqueous solution ionic can conduct electricity (ions are able to move freely in liquid state, electricity is movement of charge)

Q

Properties of Molecular compounds

A

low melting/boiling point: weak attraction usually gas or liquid, no crystal lattice sturcture

do NOT conduct electricity (mc have no charge)

some dissolve in water, some do not (no charge, so H20 molecules dont affect it but some are similar to water thus they dissolve)

Q

Combustion

A

when a substance is burned in oxygen gas, products are always CO2 and H2O and energy

17
Q

word equations

A

just chemical names

18
Q

Exothermic Reaction

A

reactions that release energy as a product (energy is product)

ie. dissolving of an acid in water, and freezing of water, or when bonds form energy is released (SYNTHESIS)

19
Q

Endothermic Reaction

A

reactions that absorb energy (energy is reactant)

ie. ice melting into liquid, water, boiling liquid water into water vapour, when bonds break energy is absorbed (DECOMPOSITION)

20
Q

Identify acids

A

chemical formula starts with H and is (aq) or end with COOH and is (aq)

21
Q

Naming Acids

A

Binary Acid (starts w H + non-metal)
–> HYDRO[non-metal]IC ACID

Oxy-Acids (starts w H + polyatomic ion that end in “ate”)
–> [elements in polyatomic ion that is not oxygen]IC ACID

22
Q

Properties of Acids

A
  • sour taste
  • conducts electricity
  • reacts w metals to produce H2
  • reacts with carbonates to produce CO2
  • turn blue litmus paper red
    -pH level 0-7
  • formed when non-metal oxides react w water
    ie. CO2 + H2O –> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
  • universal indicator: red
23
Q

Identify bases

A

the chemical formula starts w a metal ion or ammonium, or ends w “hydroxide” or “carbonate”

24
Q

Properties of bases

A
  • bitter taste
  • conduct electricity
  • turns red litmus paper blue
  • feel slippery
  • reacts w acids to produce water + salt
  • formed when metal oxides reacts w water
  • corrosive to skin
    -universal indicator: purple
