Q

Hydrogen Bonds?

A

Weakest Bond

bonds are not shared equally

17
Q

Cohesion?

A

caused by hydrogen bonds

tendency of molecules sticking together

18
Q

Adhesion?

A

sticking together of two different things

Water and Bottle

19
Q

Buffer?

A

Substances that resist pH change
accepts H+ ions wen they are in excess
donate H+ ions wen that are depleted

20
Q

Electron Configuration?

A

Atomic # ,Protons and Electrons are the same
P+N=M#
first ring holds 2 then all others hold up to 8

21
Q

Atomic #?

A

Same as Prontons and Electrons

22
Q

Bonds b/w matter molecules

A

Chemical bonds

held together by attractions
