Q

Atoms vs Ions?

A

Atoms: No charge (neutral), balance of protons and electrons, valence either full/stable or missing/unstable

Ions: Charged, imbalance of protons and electrons, stable, full valence orbits

Both: Single particles, contain protons, neutrons and electrons

A

Omit the prefix

19
Q

How do you draw a Lewis dot diagram?

A
  1. Draw Symbol for element closest to Fluorine
  2. Draw valence electrons with • or x
  3. Add other atom(s) where there are gaps
20
Q

Do ionic compounds dissociate?

A

Yes.
Eg. Na+Cl-
= Na+ , Cl-

Now exist in the water by themselves
(High conductor)
Electrolytes

21
Q

Do molecular compounds dissociate?

A

Does not dissociate, remains together

Low conductor

22
Q

Synthesis Reaction

A

Cu + O2 > CuO

23
Q

Decomposition reaction

A

CuO > Cu + O

24
Q

Double displacement

A

FeS + HCl > FeCl2 + H2S

25
Q

Single displacement

A

Zn + HCl > ZnCl2 + H2

26
Q

Properties of acids and bases?

A

Acids- H+ ion (hydrogen), water soluble, sour, conductors, reacts with metals, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates

Bases- OH- (hydroxide), water soluble, bitter, slippery, conductive, reacts with proteins

27
Q

Can acids and bases be conductors?

A

Yes,they both dissolve in water to form ions

28
Q

How do you name acids?

A
  1. Chemical formula starts with H
  2. Only one other non-metallic element
  3. Add prefix “hydro”
  4. Add suffix “ic”
  5. Add acid at the end

Eg. HCl = Hydrochloric acid

29
Q

What is an oxyacid?

A
  • Contains a polyatomic ion

- Contains oxygen atom

30
Q

How do you name oxyacids?

A

Ends in “ate” - Change to “ic”

Ends in “ite” - Change to “ous”

Add acid on the end

31
Q

How do you name bases?

A
  1. Name of positive metallic ion/polyatomic ion

2. Acid “hydroxide” at end

32
Q

pH scale?

A

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

0- most acidic
14- most basic
7- neutral

33
Q

How much does acidification and basic increase as the pH scale goes up or down?

A

Ten fold

34
Q

Describe a neutralization reaction

A

Acids and bases react to make water and a salt

  • Ionic compound
  • Double displacement reaction
35
Q

What does aqueous mean?

A
  • Chemical in water
  • Dissociates

In water or (aq) means a substance is aqueous

36
Q

What do acids and bases do relating to protons?

A

Acid: gives proton
Base: takes proton

37
Q

What is an atom?

A

The smallest unit of an element
