E1 Ch2 Flashcards
Smallest basic unit of matter
Atom
Formed when an atom gains or loses electrons
Ion
Atoms in molecules share pairs of electrons when they make
Covalent bonds
Which of the following solutions has the highest H in concentration?
-ph of 1
- ph of 4
- ph of 7
-ph of 10
Ph of 1
Substances are changed into diff substances when bonds break and form during
Chemical reactions
Nucleus of an atom contains
protons and neutrons
Fundamental diff between covalent and ionic bonding
In covalent bond partners share a pair of electrons, in ionic bond one partner captures an electron from the other
Solution with ph of 4 is
Weakly acidic
Water molecules stick to other water molecules bc
Hydrogen bonds form between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of other water molecules
Ionic bonding
Attraction between 2 oppositely charged ions ( Na+ Cl- )
Polar covalent bonds
Atoms shared unequally,atoms with diff electronegativity shares electrons
Hydrogen bonds
Weak bond between slightly positive and slightly negative atoms
Found in nucleus of an atom
Protons
Neutrons
Positrons
When proton number and electron number are unequal the atom or molecule
Is an ion
