chemistry Flashcards
chemical reactions
interaction of molecules/ atoms resulting in their change; leads to formation of breaking chemical bonds
chemical bonds
energy holding two atoms 2gether
reactant
w/e is being added or subtracted
product
on the other side of the ->
3 types of chemical bonds
- ionic bond- transfer electrons
- covalent bond- shares outer electrons
- hydrogen bond - force between polar molecules
hydroPHILIC
polar molecules that form hydrogen bonds & are attracted to water; soluble
hydroPHOBIC
non polar molecule; not soluble
significance of hydrogen bonds
hold water molecules 2gether
atomic number
of protons
atomic mass
protons + neutrons
protons
= number of electrons; positive charge
electrons
negative charge
atom vs. ion
ion- atom w/ unequal charge
atom- neutral charge
PH
indicates acidity of a substance; measures hydrogen (H+)
basic- over 8
acid- under 8
neutral - 7
lost and gain electrons
if electron is lost than positive charge
if electron is gained its negative charge
