alkanes
(alkanes! they're driving me insane)

what is a saturated hydrocarbon

100

The energy gained from movement

What is kinetic energy? 

100

the particle theory of matter

All matter is made of particles
All particles have spaces in between them
Particles are always in random motion
The particles in a substance attract each other

100

sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms

what is a covalent bond?

100

Which one is wider, Australia or the moon? 

Australia! 

200


3-hexene

200

type of reaction of elephant toothpaste 

What is decomposition?

200

Group 2 on the periodic table 

what are alkaline earth metals

calcium fluoride

CaF2

What's the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery? 

A graveyard is on church ground. 

300

what is a functional group, and name three

A group of atoms that define the characteristics of a molecule
Examples: -OH (alcohol), carboxyl/carboxylic acids, C=O (carbonyl), alkyl group, alkyl halides, esters,

300

Determine the type of reaction 

* exothermic reaction 


300

HBr + KOH -> H2O + KBr

What is neutralization? 

300

polar covalent bonds

A polar covalent bond is one where the electrons between two atoms are shared unevenly

This results from the difference in electronegativity which causes electrons to gravitate more towards one atom.

What did I (Chris) do for my physics IA? 

Double slit experiment 

400


4-ethyl-2-octyne

400

Contrast Brønsted-Lowry vs. Arrhenius acid-base theory 


Bronsted = bases are proton acceptors, acids are proton donors

Arrhenius = bases increase OH- concentration, acids increase H+ concentration 

400

_C3H8 + _O2 --> __CO2 + __H2O
(+50 if you can identify type of reaction) 

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O

400

Re-arrange the following compounds in terms of highest --> lowest boiling point, and explain why you arranged it that way. 

HF, CH4, NaCl, HCl 

NaCl, HF, HCl, CH4

What was the colour of the initial dot that scientists placed on the belly of the cleaner fish to test whether or not they could recognize themselves in the mirror?
(double points if you can explain why)

Red! 

500

draw an ester (any kind) 2 mins

answers may vary, 

  • General formula for an ester: RCOOR’

    • R = hydrocarbon group from the carboxylic acid, 

    • COO = functional group of the ester, one O is double bonded to the carbon, the other is single bonded to the carbon and to the other group (R’) 

    • R’ = hydrocarbon group that comes from the alcohol

what is schrodingers cat?

Schrödinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment that demonstrates the idea in quantum physics that tiny particles can be in two states at once until they're observed. It asks you to imagine a cat in a box with a mechanism that might kill it. Until you look inside, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time.

The Schrodinger wave equation describes the behaviour of a particle in a field of force or the change of a physical quantity over time.

When did WW2 end? 

1945

What is an instantaneous dipole moment? 

A dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of the charge and the distance between the centers of the positive and negative charges.

Dipole moments are created from differences in electronegativity. The dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of the molecule
