Chemistry 8 Flashcards
Name for a substance that dissolves in water to create a solution that conducts electricity
Electrolyte
What is the difference in structure between Ionic Compounds and Molecular Compounds
Ionic Compounds are typically 3D and crystalline. Molecular compounds are just a cluster of atoms.
Two molecules, which, when they react with a hydroxyl radical in an oxidation reaction form Tropospheric Ozone.
Carbon Monoxide and Methane
Bacteria that don’t need oxygen to live
Anaerobic Bacteria
Two pathways to Methanogenesis
Acetoclastic and Hydrogenotrophic
Term for sudden releases of methane bubbles into the air in wetland biomes
Ebullition
Process involving the reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at a high temperature with a nickel catalyst to form methane and water
Sabatier Process
Term for a hydrocarbon molecule that has carbon carbon double or triple bonds. More hydrogens can be added to it so it consists of only single bonds.
Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
Term for an acyclic hydrocarbon molecule that is fully saturated (made up of only single bonds)
Alkane
Term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a carbon carbon double bond
Alkene
Term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing a carbon carbon triple bond
Alkyne
Scientist who developed a scale for Electronegativity
Linus Pauling
Element that is the most electronegative and it’s electronegativity value on the pauling scale
Fluorine at 4.0
How much electronegativity difference makes a bond ionic
Over 1.7
How much electronegativity difference makes a bond fully covalent
Less than 0.4
