Chemistry IB SL Exam: Paper 1 and 2 Flashcards
Define Convergence
In each series, the lines converge meaning higher levels/shells get closer together
Define Emission Spectra
Refers to when electrons are excited to a higher energy level, then return to a lower energy level, they release a photon of specific energy, as shown by a specific frequency of light
Isotope of uranium is used for?
Nuclear power
¹³¹I or ¹²⁵I is used for?
Medical tracers
⁶⁰Co is used for?
Radiotherapy
Which of the following increase the amount of product in electrolysis?
I. Increasing the charge of the ion
II. Increasing the current
III. Increasing the duration
II and III
Reducing agent 2
— reduces other species and, in the process, is itself oxidized
— gives electrons to something
Oxidizing agent2
- – oxidizes other species and, in the process, is itself reduced
- – takes electron away from something
Oxidation Number 2
— A purely formal concept that regards all compounds as ionic and assigns charges to the components accordingly
— it provides a guide to the distribution of electrons
REDOX reaction2
— A reaction that includes both oxidation and reduction
— If something is oxidized and something is reduced in a reaction, it is a REDOX reaction
Reduction 2
— gain of electron
— Decrease in oxidation number
Oxidation 2
— loss of electrons
--- increase in oxidation number
How much does 1 mole of gas occupy at standard temperature and pressure?
22.7 L/mol
Molecular Formula
The actual number of atoms of different elements covalently bonded in a molecule
Empirical Formula
The simplest whole number ratio of atoms of different elements in a compound
Nucleophile
Reagents that have a non-bonding pair of electrons; attracted to the C atom in the halogenoalkanes during substitution reactions
saturated
containing no C=C double bonds
unsaturated
containing at least one C=C double bond
