Q

What’s the difference between an Anion and a Cation Ion?

A

When a atom looses an electron and it does not equal the number of protons in the nucleus it becomes an ion. Then if it’s one electron short it’s a Cation. If an atom Gaines an extra electron from another atom it’s an anion.

Q

What are two key properties of ionic bonds?

A

They are strong, they are non directional.

25
Strong chemical bond formed betweeen two atoms when they share electrons.
Covalent bonds
26
Molecular magnet, with positive and negative ends or “poles” one portion of the molecule attracts electrons more strongly that another portion is called
Polar molecules
27
Molecules that don’t exhibit a large difference in electronegatives of its atom like the carbon hydrogen bonds of methane are
Nonpolar Molecules
28
Two key properties of covalent bonds
They are strong, sharing lots of energy They are very directional- bonds form between two specific (intentional) atoms
29
Bonds that accur when the positive end of one polar molecule is attracted to the negative end of another like magnets
Hydrogen bond
30
Electrons equally shared between atoms
Non polar covalent bonds
31
Forms when electronegativity difference between atoms is very large. Loosing an electron would benefit one atom more than sharing
Ionic bond
32
Two atoms are very close together, attraction is WEAK and disappears if they move a little.
Can der waals forces
33
Hydrogen bonds require considerable heat before they break, minimizing temperature changes.
Heat storage
34
Water molecules in an ice crystal are spaced relatively far apart because of hydrogen bonding
Ice formation
35
Many hydrogen bonds must be broken for water to evaporate
High heat of vaporization
36
Hydrogen bonds hold molecules of water together
Cohesion
37
Water molecules are attracted to ions and polar compounds.
High polarity
38
Hydrophilic
Hydro (water) Philic (loving) describing polar molecules, which form hydrogen bonds with water and are soluble in water
39
Difference between ion and polar molecule
Ions are a full charge due to loss or gain (positive or negative) Polar molecules are partial (slightly more positive or negative) just kinda pulling them their direction
40
No polar compounds shrink from contact with water. Do not form hydrogen bonds with water and are not soluble in water.
Hydrophobic
41
Positive ion (H+)
Hydrogen
42
A substance that takes up or releases hydrogen ions (H+) to maintain the pH within a certain range
A buffer
43
Negative ion (OH-)
Hydroxide
44
Any substance that dissociates in water to increase the concentration of H+ is called an
Acid
45
Acidic solutions have pH values below
7
46
Any substance that combines with H+ when dissolved in water is called a
Base
47
The subatomic particles involved in chemical reactions are the
Electrons
48
Moving an electron away from the positively charged nucleus of an atom _______ while moving an electron toward the nucleus _______
Requires an input of energy, results in an electron with less potential energy
49
The spherical orbital located in the first electron shell of all atoms is the ______ orbital while the _______ orbital is shaped like a dumbbell and present in all atoms with more than one electron shell.
S, s,,,,, P, p
50
What is the function of electrons in chemical reactions
They interact with the electrons of other atoms
51
Cells must regulate pH to prevent detrimental changes to the ______ that govern metabolism
Protein(s)
52
The energy levels of electrons in orbit around a nucleus within an atom are referred to as electron _______
Shells
53
Contained in the first energy level of any atom
One orbital
54
Contained in the second electron energy level
Four orbitals
55
Maximum number of electrons contained in one p or one s orbital
2 electrons
56
Maximum number of electrons contained in the second electron shell
8 electrons
57
A solutions _____ is equal to the negative log of its hydrogen ion concentration.
pH
58
Because water has a high heat of vaporization, a considerable amount of heat energy is _______
Removed when water evaporates
