100

X : E.N. Difference of < 0.5

Y : E.N. Difference of 0.5 - 2.0 

Z : E.N. Difference of > 2.0

What are?: 

X: Non Polar Covalent bonds

Y: Polar Covalent bonds

Z: Ionic bonds

100

Difference in electronegativity of a molecule's components 

What is Polarity?

Pay attention to net dipoles in the molecule 

100

Proper disposal of waste based on solvent type

What is segregation/separation of aqueous + organic solvents? 

Beaker 1= aqueous waste

Beaker 2= organic waste


200

Interactions between H-atom & highly E.N. atoms (F, N, O)

What is Hydrogen Bonding? 

200

Ability of a solute to be dissolved in a solvent 

What is Solubility?

Soluble > Slightly Soluble > Insoluble 

200

Laboratory ventilation device for pungent/volative solutions

What is a fume hood? 

NO ORGANIC SOLVENTS LEAVE THE FUME HOOD

300

Complete dissociation of ions allow for conduction of electricity throughout a given solution

What are Electrolytes?

Strong =  dissociate completely (strong acids/bases)

Weak = dissociate slightly (weak acids/bases)

Non electrolyte = no dissociation  

300

Ability of two solvents to mix to form a homogenous mixture, no separation 

What is Miscibility? 

Miscible - Acetic acid (vinegar) + water 

Immiscible - Oil and water

400

Energy released when IONIC components are brought together to form an ionic solid

What is Lattice Energy? 

400

Process where a solute dissolves in a solvent 

What is Dissolution?

Dissolution of ionic solid:

Solvation Energy > Lattice Energy (breaking of bonds)
