16
Q

What elements make up organic matter?

A

Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) (nitrogen is also important)

17
Q

Isotope

A

Same number of protons, different number of nuetrons

18
Q

Ionic bond

A

TRANSFER metal (lose) and nonmetal (gain) to become a salt/crystal (becomes atoms with opposite charges that are attracted to each other and easier to break than covalent)

19
Q

Oxidation

A

A metal atom that loses electrons (LEO says GER)

20
Q

Reduction

A

A nonmetal atom that gains electrons (LEO says GER)

21
Q

Covalent bond

A

SHARE nonmetal+nonmetal/molecules/shown with line which represents a pair of 2 electrons/harder to break than an ionic bond

22
Q

The # of covalent bonds an atom can form is the..

A

of valence electrons needed to fill outer shell (H can form 1, O can form 2, etc) maximum 3 bonds between 2 elements but can form bonds with other elements if it needs more

23
Q

Polar covalent bond

A

Atoms that do not exert the same pull on shared electrons/The stronger atom ends up with a slight negative charge (more electrons on that side)

24
Nonpolar covent bond
No difference in charge between the two ends of bonds (diatomic N2, O2 etc)
25
Mixture
Not chemically combine ex salt water
26
Diatomic Molecules
2 of the same element (O2, N2, H2, Cl2)
27
Substance
Chemically combined
28
Acids
Form hydrogen ions (H+) in solution... | HCl hydrochloride acid dissolves in H+ and Cl-/less than 7 pH/Electrolyte
29
Electrolytes/ types of Electrolytes
Free moving ions in a mixture that conducts electricity. Aqueous salts (NaCl MaCl) and Acids (HCl HNo) and Bases (NaOH)
30
Aqueous Salts
Breaks up, Cl- attracts to H+ and Na+ attracts to O-,
31
As water cools, hydrogen bonds..
Form and release energy to moderate temp
32
As water heats, hydrogen bonds..
Break and absorb energy to moderate temp
33
Ph Scale
Measures the hydrogen ion (H+) concentratin | 0(most acidic)--7(nuetral)--> 14(basic)
34
Hydrogen bonds form intermolecular attraction when?
(O-) is attracted to (H+) causing cohesion, adhesion, and capillary action
35
Bases
Any compound that produces hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water... NaOH sodium hydroxide dissolves into Na+ and OH-/Electrolyte
36
Neutralization
The Ph level is returned to 7 when the H+ from the acid combines with the OH- from the base forming H2O
