Unit 1: Chapter 2 Flashcards
What is the difference between a cation and an anion?
- Cation is positively charged and anions are negative
2. Cation releases an electron and anion gains an electron
Are cations more stable than anions?
- The only thing that changes is the electrons
2. It can be just as stable as an anion, because they are just getting to that state of gas.
What is electronegativity in your own words?
- The pull that an atom has on a shared electron.
- The tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.
- Remember, bullies are negative (most negative N, O, F)
What is the difference between an ion and an isotope?
- Ions count for electrons
2. Isotopes count for neutrons.
Why do Hydrogen bonds form in water?
- Because it is the electronegatively in the partial charges.
- Hydrogen bonds form in water because oxygen is more electro. then hydrogen.
- The hydrogen bonds for because of the partial pulls
Are electrons shared in an ionic bond? What about covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds share but ionic don’t.
Define acids
Proton donor
pH 0-6.9
Gives off an H+ which means when you look at it on a molecule it will have a - by the element
Define CHNOPS
Key element of life. CHNO makes up 96% of all mater in organisms.
Define Ion
Charged form of an atom
Define Neutrons
Uncharged particles in the nucleus
ATOMIC MASS
If the number changes it is an isotope
Define Cohesion
The tendency of like molecule to cling together
Define Hydrogen bonds
A weak interaction caused by the attraction of particle positive (h) and partial negative (N or O)
Define Covalent bonds
A bond where atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
VERY STRONG
Define Valence electrons
The electrons that are found in the outermost shell.
Define carboxyl group and draw
COOH
Define unpaired valence electrons
Individual atoms will interact with one another in an attempt to fill outer shell.
Define anion
Negatively charged atom
Ex. Cl-
Define electrons
Charged particles orbiting around the nucleus
If the number changes it is an ion
Define hydrophobic
water fearing
Not able to interact with H-bonds
Mon-polar
Define proton
Charged particle in the nucleus
ATOMIC #
If the number changes it in a different element
Define reactant
Reactant is what is being added.
Define atomic number
The bottom number
