Term
What is the Quantum leap or atomic spectra process?
Definition
electrons absorb energy and jump up to the excited state -- the release energy as light (colors) and jump down to a lower level
Term
What kind of elements are involved in IONIC bonding?
Definition
metals with nonmetals
Term
What happens to electrons in IONIC bonds?
Definition
electrons are transferred
Term
What are properties of IONIC materials?
Definition
good conductors when dissolved in water, high melting point
Term
What are ANIONS and how are they made?
Definition
Anions are negative ions and they are made when nonmetals gain electrons Anions are bigger than neutral atoms b/c they gain e-
Term
What are CATIONS and how are they made?
Definition
Cations are positive ions and they are made when metals lose electrons Cations are smaller than neutral atoms b/c they lose e-
Term
What kind of elements are involved in COVALENT bonding?
Definition
nonmetals
Term
What happens to electrons in Covalent bonds?
Definition
electrons are shared
Term
What are the two kinds of Covalent bonding and how are they different?
Definition
Covalent Polar bonds share e- unevenly, Covalent NonPolar Bonds share e- evenly. Polar substance have partial charges and can dissolve in water. Nonpolar substances have no change and cannot dissolve in water.
Term
Examples of Covalent Polar substances
Definition
Water , Ammonia, Acids
Term
Examples of Covalent NonPolar Substances
Definition
Carbon dioxide, hexane, oil
Term
What are properties of Covalent substances?
Definition
poor conductors, low melting points
Term
What is Metallic Bonding?
Definition
when a metal (metals) lose e- into a sea of e-. These free moving e- allow metals to be good conductors of electricity.
Term
What type of matter are Elements?
Definition
PURE matter.
Term
What are elements made of ? Can they be decomposed?
Definition
only one type of atom . and they cannot be decomposed
Term
What type of matter are Compounds/Molecules?
Definition
PURE matter
Term
How are compounds/molecules made?
Definition
two or more different atoms bond together
Term
Can compounds be decomposed?
Definition
yes, they can chemically decomposed
Term
What are the two types of mixtures?
Definition
heterogeneous and homogeneous
Term
How are mixtures different?
Definition
heterogeneous is visibly different, but homogeneous looks the same throughout
Term
What type of bond is involved in compounds with Polyatomic Ions?
Definition
BOTH ionic and covalent
Term
How can you tell if it's an acid?
Definition
Usually starts with H
Term
How can you tell if it's a base?
Definition
Usually ends in OH
Term
What is the formula for ammonia?
Definition
NH3
Term
What is the formula for water?
Definition
H2O
Term
What type of matter are sollutions?
Definition
Homogeneous solutions
Term
What is a solute?
Definition
the substance that gets dissolved
Term
What is a solvent?
Definition
the substance that does the dissolving
Term
How can you see the difference between unsaturated, saturated, supersaturated on the graph?
Definition
unsaturated is "under" the curve, saturated is "on" the curve, supersaturated is "above" the curve
Term
When do you use distillation?
Definition
to separate 2 or more liquids that have different boiling points
Term
How can crude oil be separated?
Definition
distillation
Term
What is chromatography?
Definition
separating inks or dyes
Term
When should you filter something?
Definition
to separate a solid from a liquid
Term
How can density separate things?
Definition
heavy/moredense things sink and the lighter/lessdense things float
Term
What 3 things affect the RATE of solubility?
Definition
stirring, crushing/surface area, temperature
Term
What 3 thing affect how much dissolves?
Definition
type of substance, pressure (if it's a gas), temperature
Term
How does increased temperature effect the solubility of gases?
Definition
it decreases, the curve goes down
Term
How does increased temperature effect the solubility of solids/liquids?
Definition
it increases, the curve goes up -ex. hot tea dissolve more sugar than iced tea
Term
What are the 3 states/phases of matter?
Definition
solid, liquid, gas
Term
How do you name IONIC compounds?
Definition
Use (roman numerals) and it ends in "IDE"
Term
How do you name COVALENT molecules?
Definition
Use PREfixes like 1-mono, 2-di, 3-tri, 4-tetra, 5-pent, 6-hex...
Term
How do you name ACIDS?
Definition
if it starts with H , look it up on Table K
Term
How do you name BASES?
Definition
if it ends in OH, look it up on Table L
Term
How do you name compounds with POLYATOMICS?
Definition
Use table E polyatomic ion chart
Term
How do you do FORMULAS?
Definition
CRISS CROSS method, OR BALANCE the charges method
