23
Q

compounds

A

molecules containing more than one type of element

24
Q

chemical bonds

A

how atoms are held together in molecules/compounds

25
ionic bonds
former my the attraction of oppositely charged ions
26
____ or ____ of electrons forms ions
gain/loss
27
metals ____ electrons and no metals ____ electrons to achieve an octet
lose/gain
28
covalent bond
form when atoms share two or more valence electrons
29
cohesion
polarity of water allows water molecules to be attracted to one another
30
properties of water
1. water has a high specific heat 2. water has a high heat of vaporization 3. solid water is less dense than liquid water 4. water has a good solvent (it’s polar) 5. water organizes nonpolar molecules 6. water can form ions
31
acid
any substance that dissociates in water to increase the H+ content and lower the pH
32
base
substance that lowers the H+ concentrate and increases the pH
33
buffer
substance that resists changes in pH by either releasing H+ when a base is added or absorbing H+ when acid is added
34
Body buffering of blood pH levels
H+ + HCO3- H2CO3 H2O+CO2
