Conservation Of Mass And Ionic, And Covalent Bonds Flashcards
Besides actually solving the problem and writing the final answer, what is the one thing you must do while solving ionic bonds?
Write the oxidation number
What step is step 3 based of off in making covalent bonds?
Step 1
What is one thing that you must remember to do while making covalent bonds?
Even if there sharing electrons both elements must always have a FULL OUTR SHELL!
What does CONSERVATION mean?
The fact that anything (like energy, mass, etc…) always stays the SAME!
What is the law of conservation?
Matter CANNOT be created or destroyed. It CAN ONLY change FORM.
What Is an independent variable?
A variable whose variation does not depend on that if another
What is a dependent variable?
A variable whose value was depends on that of another
What is a control?
A control is used as a constant and unchanging standard of comparison in scientific experimentation
What is a constant?
A constant that is unknown but assumed to have a fixed value in a specified mathematic context
What are subatomic particles?
A subatomic particle particle is in the middle of an atom and the protons and neutrons are what’s inside it, that interact with each other.
What are oxidation numbers?
A number assigned to an element in chemical combinations which represents the number of electrons lost or, gained (if the number is negative) in that element.
How do you find an elements oxidation number?
By looking to see how many rows the element would need to lose or gain, to be in the first row.
How do you know what type of ion an element is?
If it’s one of the two darker shades of blue on the periodic table of elements, then it’s an anion. If it’s any other element on the periodic table, then it’s a cation.
What are elements?
Elements or substances that cannot be broken down or changed, and the atoms for each element are unique.
What is the periodic table of elements?
A table of all the elements arranged by atomic number
