Structure
The three subatomic particles that make up an atom.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Substances that are created during a reaction.
What are products?
Type of substance that receives a proton.
What is a base?
The type of energy studied in chemistry.
What is heat?
The number on the periodic table that gives the number of protons an element has.
What is atomic number?
Type of bond that occurs when atoms share electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
Substances that are used up in a reaction.
What are reactants?
The ions that are created when water gains a proton and loses a proton?
What is hydronium (H3O+) and hydroxide (OH-)?
Processes that occur when energy is absorbed into a system.
What is an endothermic process?
Type of substance that donates a proton.
What is an acid?
Type of bond that occurs when atoms share electron clouds and create a "sea of electrons."
What is a metallic bond.
Type of reaction that occurs when electrons are transferred.
What is a redox reaction?
The most common acid and base.
What is water (H2O).
Processes that occur when energy is released from a system.
What is an exothermic process?
Type of bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What is an ionic bond?
Type of compound that is made up of molecules held together my intermolecular forces and create a distinct shape.
What is a molecular compound?
Type of reaction that occurs when two aqueous solutions are combined and create an insoluble solid.
What is a precipitation reaction?
The strength of an acid/base when it fully dissolves in water and releases all of its H+/OH- ions.
What is a strong acid/base?
Processes that occur all by themselves without any extra help from its surroundings.
What is a spontaneous reaction?
A substance is purple at equilibrium. The reactants are red and the products are blue. After a disturbance the substance is blue.
The direction this reaction must go in to return to equilibrium.
What is the reverse direction?
Type of compound that is made up of a mixture of metals. One metal is larger and another metal is smaller and fitted in between the larger one.
What is an interstitial alloy?
Occurs when the reaction rate of the forward reaction is the same as the reaction rate of the reverse reaction.
What is equilibrium?
The strength of an acid/base when it does NOT fully dissolve in water and release all of its H+/OH- ions.
What is a weak acid/base?
The minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur.
What is activation energy?
A substance is purple at equilibrium. The reactants are red and the products are blue. After a disturbance the substance is red.
The direction this reaction must go in to return to equilibrium.
What is the forward direction?
