Bromine is a Group 7A element.  What is the charge on a bromide ion?

1-

100

What do subscripts tell us in a chemical formula?

How many atoms of an element

100

Propane is a gas we use for BBQ pits, which is composed of 3 carbons and 8 hydrogens.  what is the chemical formula for propane?

C3H8

100

If an element gains an electron in an ionic bond, it becomes a _______?

anion

200

Polar molecule

A molecule that has slight positive and negative charges due to an imbalance in the way electrons are shared

200

Which pair have the same electron configuration?

Naand Kr

Naand Kr-

Na and Kr

Naand Kr+

Naand Kr

Na must lose an electron to have a stable elcetron configuration.  Kr already has one since it is a noble gas

200

What do Coefficients tell us in a chemical equation?

How many molecules of an atom or compound is needed to balance a chemical equation.

200

Ethanol (C2H5OH) is used as a gas additive. How many atoms are in one molecule of ethanol?

9

200

H.   What does the dot represent?

1 valence elctron that hydrogen has.

300

Covalent bond

A chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electrons

300

Water is a polar molecule.  What two types of molecules will dissolve in water?

Polar molecules and ions.

300

Which type of bonding in elements allows for malleability?

Metallic bonds

Ammonia is a common household cleaning agent, which is composed of 1 nitrogen, and 3 hydrogens.  Write the chemical formuls for ammonia.

NH3

300

In a chemical equation, what are the elements or compounds on the right called?

products

400

Adhesion

The force of attraction between molecules of different substances so that they tend to stick together

If an element loses an electron in an ionic bond, it becomes a _________?

Cation

500

Ionic bond

A chemical bond formed between oppositely charged ions

500

Describe the charges on a water molecule.

It is a polar molecule.  The hydrogen has a slight positive charge and the oxygen has a slight negative charge

500

How do atoms achieve stable electron configurations?

by either transferring electrons (ionic bonds) or sharing electrons (covalent bonds)

500

Balance this equation

S+ O2 --> SO3

S+ 12 O2----> 8 SO3

500

Describe hydrogen bonding

Formed between molecules not atoms.  Hydrogen has a slightly positive charge while oxygen has a slightly negative charge in water.  Thus, it attracts other water molecules and they bind  together tightly using a hydrogen bond
