200
Give an example of an acid
HCl, acetic acid, HF etc.
200
Give an example of an acid
NaOH, soap, ammonia

How is the strength of an acid or a base measured?
It is measured by how much of the acid or base dissolves in water. If the substance fully dissolves, it is a strong acid/base.
200
What type of bonds are possible between carbons?
Single,double, triple
200
What is the difference between a straight chain and a branched chain?
In a straight chain, all the carbons (except those on the ends) are attached to two carbons.
In a branched chain, there is one or more carbon that is attached to three carbons or four carbons.
