Covalent bond

A

Firms when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons

18
Q

Element

A

Substance composed of atoms of only one kind

19
Q

Compound

A

Substance resulting from the chemical combination of 2 or more different types of atoms

20
Q

Molecule

A

Composed of 2 or more atoms chemically combined to form a structure that behaves as an independent unit

21
Q

Solubility

A

Ability of one substance to dissolve in another (sugar dissolving in water)

22
Q

Synthesis reaction

A

2 or more reactants chemically combine to form a new and larger amount

23
Q

Decomposition

A

To reserve a synthesis reaction. Larger reactant is chemically broken down into 2 or more smaller products

24

Dehydration synthesis

A

Reactants in which water is a product

25
Q

Hydrolysis

A

Chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water

26
Q

Energy

A

Capacity to do work (move matter)

27
Q

Potential energy

A

Stored energy that could do work but is not doing so

28
Q

Activation energy

A

Minimum amount of energy that the reactant must have to start a chemical reactions

29
Q

Acid

A

Proton donor

30
Q

Base

A

Proton acceptor and any substance that binds to (accept). H+ is a base

31
Q

pH scale

A

7 is neutral, 3 would be acidic, 10 would be basic
