24
Q

covalent molecule examples

A

chlorine, iodine, carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur

25
sublime
solid turning directly into vapour (iodine)
26
ionic bonding
a transfer of electrons to achieve a filled shell
27
ionic compound examples
NaCl sodium chloride, MgO magnesium oxide
28
cations
these are positively charged species formed when neutral atoms low electrons
29
anions
negatively charged species formed when a neutral atom gains electrons
30
common cations
H+ , K+ , Cu+ , Cu2+
31
common anions
Cl- , F- , S2-
32
what ionises to give cations
metals
33
what ionises to give anions
non-metals
34
complex anions
NO3 nitric acid (CO3)2- carbonate
35
acids
HNO3 nitric acid H2SO4 sulfuric acid H3PO4 phosphoric acid
36
what are bases
proton acceptors
37
salts
formed by the replacement of the H+ ions of an acidic by another positive ion
38
reaction of acids with bases
HCL + NAOH -> NACL + H2O H2SO4 + 2KOH -> K2SO4 + 2H2O HN03 + NH3 -> NH4NO3
39
hydrogen bonding
the attraction between hydrogen atoms and either nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atoms
40
hydrogen bonding strength
they have about 10th the strength of an average covalent bond and are constantly broken and reformed in liquid water
41
how are salts formed
combining positive ions (cations) with negative ions (anions)
42
what is a mole
the amount of substance which contains as many objects, atoms, molecules or things as the number of atoms in 12g of C12
43
mass of an atom
in atomic mass units it is equal to the mass in grams of one mole of that element
44
what is the number of objects in 1 mole called?
the Avogadro Constant (equal to 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1)
45
van der Waals forces
exist between non-polar molecules or atoms - weakest of all intermolecular forces
