quiz 2+3 Flashcards
atom
smallest particle of an element that has all the properties of an element
boiling point
temperature at which liquid turns to gas, physical property
covalent bond
formed between two atoms by the sharing of electrons
density
d = m/v
electron
negative charge, determine the atoms chemical properties
heterogeneous
components are not uniform throughout, 2 or 3 distinct phases present
homogeneous
composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties
neutrons
electrically neutral which stabilize the nucleus by serving as a neutral buffer between multiple protons
protons
positive charged and define the entire charge of a nucleus-and defines its chemical identity
solubility
measure of how well a solute mixes with a solvent, physical property
amphoteric
can acts as both an acid and a base in aqueous solution
decomposition
separation of compounds into simpler substances by the action of microbial and/or autolytic enzymes
diffusion
movement of molecules or other particles in solution from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration until uniform concentration is reached
hemolysis
process leads to postmortem stain and rupture? of erythrocytes
hydrogen bonding
non chemical bond that creates surface tension
