Question | Answer |
The three subatomic particles with charges | electrons(-1), protons(+1), and neutrons(0) |
What defines the atomic number | The number of protons |
How do you find the atomic mass | Adding the number of protons and neutrons |
What is oxidation | Loss of electrons |
What is reduction | Gain of electrons |
What element makes a compound organic | Carbon |
What is a nonpolar covalent bond | A bond where electrons are shared equally |
What is a polar covalent bond | A bond where electrons are not equally shared due to varying electronegativity |
What are hydrogen bonds | Bonds that form between a negative oxygen and a positive hydrogen |
Coheisve | Water molecules are attracted to each other |
Adhesive | The attraction of water and another polar molecule NOT WATER |
Specific Heat | A large amount of thermal energy is needed to break the hydrogen bonds. |
Heat of Vapotization | Amount of energy needed to change 1 gram of a substance from a liquid to a gas |
Hydration shell | Prevents molecules from associating with other molecules |
Hydrophobic | Shy away from contact with water |
Hydrophilic | Polar molecules that easily bond with water |
Hydrophobic Exclusion | Nonpolar molecules aggregate with water |
pH Scale | Used to scale the hydrogen ion concentration |
pH | Partial hydrogen |
Acids | Dissociates in water to increase concentration of hydrogen ions |
Bases | Dissolve in water, lowering the concentration of hydrogen ions |
Buffers | Resists changes to pH |
