Chemistry: anything with ions acids or compounds Flashcards
Type:acid precipitation
What is the normal PH of rain water?
Rain water is naturally acidic and has a pH of around 5.6
Type: Acid precipitation
What causes acidity in the rain?
The acidity is due to dissolved carbon dioxide in the water, which reacts to form carbonic acid
CO2+H2O- H2CO3
Type:Acid Precipitation
What does nitrogen dioxide react with water to produce?
Nitric and nitrous acid
2NO2+H2O-HNO3+HNO2
Type: Acid precipitation
What is another major source of acid precipitation?
Sulphurs dioxide
Type: Acids and bases
Are acids reactive?
Very reactive solutions that will react with metals, carbonate compounds and bases
Type:Acids and Bases
Why do acids have those specific properties?
These properties are due to the presence of hydrogen ions H+ which form whenever an acid dissolved in water
Type Acids and Bases
Due to the Ions Present, are Acids good conductors of electricity?
Yes (electrolytes)
Type Acids
Why must Acids be used carefully?
Acids must be used carefully as some acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid are very corrosive in concentrated form
Type Acids and Bases
How can you identify common acids?
Because they start with hydrogen
Type Acids and Bases
What are Bases?
Bases are bitter tasting water soluble substances that feel slippery to the skin.
Acids and bases
What do Bases form when they dissolve in water?
Hydroxide Ions
OH-
Acids and bases
Are Bases good conductors of electricity?
Yes electrolytes
Acids and bases
What are Bases often described as?
Being Alkaline
Acids and bases
What do Bases so when reacting with protein?
Break down into smaller molecules
Acids and bases
What are Acids?
Acids are sour tasting water soluble substances that can be found in many common products and foods

Covalent and molecular compounds
Do two non metals forming a chemical bond,create ions?
No they don’t.
Molecular and covalent compounds
What is a covalent bond?
Non metals share pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond so that each atom has a full putter shell
Molecular and covalent bonds
What are covalently bonded compounds called?
Molecules
Covalent bonds and molecular compounds
Show the formation of a molecular compound using two hydrogen atoms what type of bond is this?
A single covalent bond
See photos for diagram. Photo 2
Covalent bonds and molecular compounds
What happens when a metal and a nonmetal react to form a compound?
They transfer electrons to form ions resulting in an ionic bond
