Q

a molecular compound is:

A

a compound formed when atoms of two or more different elements share electrons.

24
Q

a molecule is:

A

a neutral particle composed of two or more atoms joined together by covalent bonds.

25
molecular compounds are also known as-
-covalent compounds.
26
a binary molecular compound is:
a compound that is composed of two non-metals joined by one or more covalent bonds.
27
the prefix for one is:
mono-
28
the prefix for two is:
di-

the prefix for three is:
tri-

the prefix for four is:
tetra-
31
the prefix for five is:

the prefix for six is:
hexa-
33
the prefix for seven is:

34
the prefix for eight is:

35
the prefix in the name of a molecular compound tells you:
the ratio of atoms for each element.
36
carbon tetrahydride is also known as:
methane.
37
nitrogen trihydride is also known as:
ammonia.
38
a reactant is:
a pure substance that undergoes a chemical change.
39
a product is:
a pure substance that is formed in a chemical change; the properties of the product are different from the properties of the reactants.
40
a chemical reaction is:
a process in which new substances with new properties are formed.
41
the two rules that make up the Law of Conservation of Mass are:
1. in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the products is always the same as the total mass of the reactant. 2. matter cannot be gained or lost during a chemical reaction.
42
a chemical equation is:
a representation of what happens to the reactants and products during a chemical reaction.
43
the three types of chemical equations are:
word equations, skeleton equations, and balanced equations.
44
in a word equation:
the name of each reactant is written to the left of the arrow and the name of each product to the right of the arrow (ie, hydrogen + oxygen ---> water).
45
in a skeleton equation:
the name of the element in the word equation is replaced with chemical formulas (ie, H₂ + O₂ ---> H₂O)
46
in a balanced equation:
the elements are written with chemical formulas and have the same number of atoms of each element on each side (2H₂ + O₂ ---> 2H₂O)
47
a coefficient is:
a number that is placed in front of a chemical formula in a balanced equation.
48
the four abbreviations used to identify the states of substances are:
(s), (g), (aq), and (ℓ).
49
(s) stands for:
solid.
50
(g) stands for:
gas.
51
(aq) stands for:
aqueous liquid.
52
(ℓ) stands for:
liquid.
