Q

Covalent bond: how?

A
  • when 2 non-metals bond with each other, both nuclei form strong attractions for the other’s electrons
  • neither atom attracts electrons strongly enough to pull it away
  • result: sharing
17
Q

___________ arrow _______

A
Left = reactants
Right = products
18
Q

What is the law of conservation of mass?

A

In any given chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products

19
Q

Why must we balance chemical equations?

A
  • during chemical reaction, atoms in reactant molecules rearrange to form products
  • therefore all atoms that existed in reactants are still present in products because atoms can’t be created or destroyed
  • to be accurate, we must show that there are equal # of each atom before and after chemical reaction has taken place
20
Q

Oxyacids

A
  • Hydro _________(polyatomic acids)
21
Q

What does pH scale indicate? What does neutral mean?

A
  • concentration of hydroxide or hydrogen ions

- neutral means that the concentrations are equal and balance each other out

22
Q

bonds?

A

outer shells collide to have a more stable electron arrangement.

23
Q

Why don’t you reduce in molecular?

A
  • ionic: ratio of elements in compound

- molecular: actual # of each atom in molecule (change it and it will be different molecule)

24
Q

How to neutralize an acid?

A

add indicator and add base until indicator changes colour

25
Q

Metals characteristics

A
  • solid
  • shiny
  • conductor
  • malleable
26
Q

Non-metals characteristics

A
  • solid/liquid/gas
  • dull
  • not conductor
  • brittle, not ductile
27
Q

Reactivity trends?

A
  • Metals: as you go down and left, electron is further from nucleus which means less energy to lose electron
  • Nonmetals: stronger P charge, more attractive
28
Q

Period #

A

of orbits

29
Q

Group #

A

of valence electrons

30
Q

Ionic bond

A

Attraction between metal cation and non-metal anion

31

  • turn litmus paper red
  • good conductors when dissolves
32
Q

A
  • corrosive
  • soluble in water
  • bitter
  • slippery
  • turn litmus paper blue
  • good conductors when dissolved in water
