(44 cards)
number of carbon prefixes 1-11
meht eth pro but pent hex hept oct non dec undec
hydrocarbons
contain only hydrogen and carbon
alkane
only single bonds
alkene
at least one double bond
alkyne
at least one triple bond
aromatic
a circular bond
reducing agent
oxidized atom is the reducing agent
oxidizing agent
reduced atom is always the oxidizing agent
alfa characteristics
composition-2protons/2neutrons mass-4amu eletrical charge- 2+ velocity- <10% speed of light(sol) ionizing power-high protection-cardboard
beta characteristics
composition-electron mass-about 0 eletrical charge: -1 velocity- 90 % speed of light(sol) ionizing power-lower than alpha protection- aluminum foil
gamma characteristics
composition-electromagnetic radiation mass-0 eletrical charge- 0 velocity- speed of light(sol) ionizing power-none protection-lead blocks
instruments used to detect radioactivity
scintillation counter
film badge
half life of radioactive isotopes
time it takes for half of the same to disintegrate
redox reaction
occurs with a transfer of electrons
oxidation
electrons are lost
reduction
electrons are gained
oxidizing agent
the atom that got reduced
reducing agent
the atom that got oxidized
electrolytic
an electric current is added to produce a chemical reaction
voltaic cell
a battery; chemical reaction is used to produce electricity
kinetic energy in gases
all gases have equal average kinetic energy at the same temperature.
small molecules move faster than bigger molecules
kinetic theory of gases
a gas consist of tiny particles in random, elastic and chaotic motion that except during collisions they are widely separated from each other.
the volume of the particles is negligible compared to the volume of the container and the gas particles have no attraction for one another.
pressure=
force/area
diffusion
the ability of two or more gases to mix spontaneously until they form a uniform mixture
