Atomics
Matter which results from bonding two or more elements to each other.
What is a Compound?
The electrode where oxidation and reduction occurs respectivley.
What is an Anode/Cathode?
A form of energy that moves from hot to cold objects.
What is Heat?
A charged atom formed by the gain or loss of electrons.
What is an Ion?
A compound that ionizes in water, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
What is an Electrolyte?
A mixture where matter is evenly distributed. AKA an Aqueous solution.
What is a Homogenous Mixture?
The loss/gain of valence elections resulting from an increase/decrease in oxidation number of an element.
What is Oxidation/Reduction?
The temperature at which a solid changes into a liquid as it heats up. Opposite of a freezing point.
What is Heat?
A bond between two nonmetals when electrons are shared.
What is a Covalent Bond?
A double-replacement reaction where an acid and base react to form water and a salt.
What is Neutralization?
The electrons that are in the outermost shell. Very important in chemical reactions.
What are Valence Electrons?
An electrochemical cell that produces an electric current as a result of a spontaneous redox reaction.
What is a Voltaic Cell?
What is the difference between Exothermic and Endothermic?
Exothermic releases heat and Endothermic absorbs heat.
A bond formed when a metal atom loses its valence electrons to a nonmetal atom.
What is an Ionic Bond?
Atoms of the same element that contain different neutrons and therefore a different atomic mass.
What is an Isotope?
A semi-permeable barrier that allows for the flow of ions from one half-cell to another.
What is a Salt Bridge?
The energy required to melt a gram of solid at its melting point.
What is the Heat of Fusion?
The bond formed that possesses the strongest attraction.
What is a Hydrogen Bond?
A process of controlled acid-base neutraliztion, carried out in burets.
What is Titration?
The region of space around the nucleus that is most likely to have an electron.
What is an Orbital?
Splitting apart the elements in a compund with the application of electricity.
What is Electrolysis?
Equal volume of two ideal gases under the same conditions of temperautre and pressure will contain an equal number of molecules.
What is Avogadro's Hypothesis?
Atoms generally react to achieve a full set of eight valence electrons.
What is the Octect Rule?
An "alternate acid base theory" where acids donate protons / H+ and bases accept protons/ H.
What is the Bronsted-Lowry Theory?
