Q

Dalton’s Atomic Theory

A

All matter is made up of atoms
Atoms of a specific element are identical to each other, but different from atoms of any other elements
Compounds are combinations of atoms of two or more different elements
In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated or rearranged
They are never created or destroyed

Q

IONS

A

An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral
Gain of electron —— convert the atom to a negative ion – known as Anion
Loss of electron —— convert the atom to a positive ion – known as Cation

Positively charged ion – usually metals
Negatively charged ion – usually nonmetals

Q

Ionic Bond

A

An ionic bond is a chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion
Atoms either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, reacting to form ions
Positive ions (metals) are attracted to negative ions (nonmetals)
In naming simple ionic compounds, the metal (cation) is always first, the nonmetal (anion) second

Q

pH

A

pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a solution

A measurement of hydrogen ions in solution
(Mathematically) pH is the negative logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions concentration

alkaline is basic

Low pH  many H+ —> acidic solution
High pH  few H+ —> basic solution

A pH decrease of 1 indicates that the solution is 10 times more acidic.

Q

Buffer Solution

A

A solution that will maintain a constant pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it
It is composed of a mixture of a weak acid or base and a salt of the acid or base

When acid is added, a buffer will absorb H + using the salt portion
When a base is added, a buffer will release H+ from the acid portion; this will neutralize the OH-

39
Q

Covalent bonds

A

occur when two or more nonmetal atoms come together and share valence electrons to become stable
Each atom donating half of the electrons to be shared (equal sharing)
Covalent bonds are strong, they do not break when in water

40
Q

Electronegativity

A

attraction of an atom for electrons in a covalent bond
The attraction or affinity of an atom for electrons in a chemical bond (covalent)

Non metals are more electronegativity than metals
Metals lose electrons more easily
Most covalent bonds involve atoms of non- metallic element
