18
Q

What is the standard reaction between a metal hydroxide and acid?

A

Salt + water

19
Q

What are spectator ions?

A

Ions that don’t take part in the reaction
- They remain the same on both sides of the chemical equations

20
Q

What is the standard ionic equation for neutralisation?

A

H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) -> H20 (l)

21
Q

What are hydrous salts?

A

Salts with water content in them

22
Q

What are anhydrous salts?

A

Salts without water content in them

23
Q

What should the overall charge in an ionic compound be?

A

0 so the charges must balance
- The sum of the positive charges= the sum of the negative charges

24
Q

Do covalent compounds contain ions?

A

They don’t containn ions
- Most covalent compounds exist as molecules with small number of atoms bonded together
