General Chemistry
Anything that has mass and occupies space
What is matter?
This is the maximum number of electrons one can find in the first orbital of an atom.
What are two?
A cation is made when this happens.
What is when an atom loses electrons and in the end has more protons than electrons.
A covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between the atoms.
What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
When water molecules stick together we say they are being this.
What is cohesive?
An electrically neutral subatomic particle
What is a Neutron?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is also known as this.
What is the atomic number?
This is how an anion forms.
What is when an atom gains electrons and ends up with more electrons than protons?
When two atoms share electrons but the electrons spend more time with one atom than the other.
What is a polar covalent bond?
When water molecules stick to non-water molecules, we say water is being this.
What is being adhesive?
The simplest form of a substance which cannot be broken down into any other substance; is defined by its number of protons.
What is an element?
The atomic mass is calculated this way.
What is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus?
Ionic bonds occur when this happens.
What is when cations are attracted to anions?
The "condition" where an atom has a high affinity for electrons.
What is a high degree of electronegativity?
When water goes through a physical change from a liquid state to a solid state, it becomes this.
What is less dense?
These subatomic particles are found in orbitals beyond the nucleus of the atom.
What are electrons?
Elements with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are known as this.
What is are isotopes?
This type of attraction holds ions together.
What is electrostatic attraction?
Polar covalent bonds give this property to the atoms involved in the bond.
What is partial positive and negative charges?
It takes a lot of energy to change the temperature of water because it has this.
What is a high specific heat?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Unstable isotopes have this condition.
What is more neutrons than protons?
A solution with ions that can conduct electricity is known as this.
What is an electrolyte?
The polar covalent bonds that make up a given water molecule allow for different water molecules to interact in this way.
What is form Hydrogen bonds?
Because it is made up of polar covalent bonds, water will only interact with molecules which have this.
What is a charge or partial charge?
