unit two Flashcards
solid that forms when two solutions are mixed
precipitate
what is a double replacement precipitate reaction
AX + BY → AY + BX
chemical particle present in greatest abundance in solution, ionized
major species
chemical particle present in lesser abundance in the solution, unionized
minor species
equation that replaces the formulas of the dissolved substances with the major species in solution
total ionic equation
ionic equation from which all spectators have been removed
net ionic equation
how to write the net ionic equation
write balanced conventional equation, then write total ionic equation, then remove the spectator ions
reaction where electrons are transferred from one species to another
single replacement oxidation reaction
Species that loses electrons is said to be
oxidized
Species that gains electrons is said to be
reduced
what is a single replacement reaction
A + BX → AX + B
reaction where the element that gets replaced undergoes a change in its oxidation state (loses or gains electrons)
redox reaction
lists metal elements and hydrogen in order of reactivity in a single-replacement redox reaction
activity series
a number assigned to each element in a species that reflects its oxidation state, and is used to keep track of electrons
oxidation number
the Oxidation number of each atom in any elemental substance is:
zero
the oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the:
same as the charge of the ion
oxidation number of combined oxygen is
-2
oxidation number of combined hydrogen is
+1
the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion is :
equal to the charge on the species
reaction where acid and base react to yield water, which is neutral, that is neither an acid nor a base.
neutralization reaction
energy in the form of electric and magnetic waves that propagate (move) in space
electromagnetic radiation
em radiation spectrum from lowest to highest frequency
Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared
Visible light
Ultraviolet
X-Ray
Gamma Rays
em radiation spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength
gamma rays, x ray, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves
Energy released by the electron in the form of a massless packet of electromagnetic radiation
photon
movement of an electron between orbits
quantum jump/leap
the four quantum numbers that describe electron energy levels in an atom:
principal energy level, sublevel, orbital, and number of electrons in an orbital
mathematically described region in space around a nucleus in which there is a high probability of finding an electron
orbitals
