What does dissociate mean?
Splitting
What does a strong acid do when placed in a solution?
Every individual molecule dissociate when placed in a solution this means it may have a PH of 1
What does a weak acid do when placed in a solution?
Not all of the molecules dissociate some still stay together this means it may have a PH of 5 or 6
What is a base?

-lead sulfates
-barium sulfate

What is an ion?
Is an atom or group of atoms that has a electrical charge, either positive or negative
What is a positive ion?
An atom that loose electrons so has more protons meaning it is positive as protons are positive
What is a negative ion?
An atom that gains electrons so has more electrons then protons meaning it has a negative charge as electrons are negative
What are the properties of a diamond?
Very hard
Very high melting point due to strong bonds
Cannot conduct electricity (no free electrons)
What are the properties of graphite?
Soft and slippery
Weak forces of attraction easily broken
Can conduct electricity
