Chapter 2 Flashcards
(24 cards)
Matter
Has mass and occupies space/Composed of atoms
Atomic # equals…
Number of protons
Mass
Amount of substance
Cation
More protons than electrons
Anion
Less protons than electrons
Isotopes
Elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Oxidation
Loss of an electron
Reduction
Gain of an electron
Octet Rule
Atoms with full outer energy levels (ex. noble gases)
4 elements that make up the human body
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Ionic Bonds
The attraction of oppositely charged ions (Electron transfer-atom that loses electrons is positive while atom that gains is negative)
Covalent Bonds
Atoms share 2 or more valence electrons
Non Polar Covalent Bonds
equal sharing of electrons
Polar Covalent Bonds
unequal sharing of electrons
Reactants
OG molecules
Products
Molecules resulting from reaction
Chemical reactions can be influenced by (3)
Temp
catalysts
the concentration of reactants and products
Cohesion (latin for stick)
being mutually attracted to one another: Water is attracted to water
Adhesion
Firm attachment: Water is attached to other stuff
Solid water is less dense than..
liquid water
Acid
Any substance in water that dissociates in water: Increases H+ and lowers pH!!
Base
Substance combines with H+, dissolves in water: lowers H+
pH scale
0-6 is acidic and 7-14 is basic
Buffers
Substance that resists change in pH
