What is the formula for density?
D = m/v
How many grams in a kilogram?
1000 grams.
How do you calculate atomic mass?
- Convert each percent of abundance to a decimal.
- Multiply each percent by the mass.
- Add the masses together.
- Round.
How do you find the amount of a type of atom in a number of molecules?
See how many atoms of that element there are in one molecule and multiply it by the number of molecules.
What is a combination reaction?
Multiple reactants combine to form a single product.
What is a single-replacement reaction?
One element replaces another in a compound.
What is a decomposition reaction?
A single reactant breaks down into multiple products.
What is a double displacement reaction?
Ions of two different compounds switch places.
What is a combustion reaction?
A substance rapidly reacts with an oxidant, usually oxygen, to produce heat and light.
How do you balance an equation?
Find the charge of each reactant and make it so they cancel each other out by changing the coefficients.
What is a molecular equation?
What is a complete ionic equation?
What is a net ionic equation?
How do you find specific heat capacity?
c = Q / (m x ΔT)
What is Q?
Heat applied.
What is m?
Mass.
What is ΔT?
The change in temperature.
(final - initial)
What is atomic radius?
The size of the atom.
When does atomic radius decrease?
It decreases across a row left to right due to increased nuclear charge pulling valence electrons in outer energy level closer to the nucleus.
When does atomic radius increase?
Radius increases down a row due to increased shielding, reducing attraction of valence electrons to nucleus and making atom larger.
What are the rules for atomic radius in ions?
The one with the highest negative charge will have the largest atomic radius, and the one with the highest positive charge will have the smallest atomic radius.
How to find valence electrons?
Count how many over the element is. If there is a positive charge, deduct that number of electrons. If there is a negative charge, add that number of electrons.
How do you determine oxidation number?
Find the charges of every element in a molecule possible, and determine what the missing number would be.
What does it mean when molecular geometry is linear?
There are 2 bonding pairs.
