Organic
The study of carbon and its compounds
What is organic chemistry?
A theory stating that in order for a reaction to occur, reacting particles must collide with each other in the correct spatial orientation and with enough energy
What is Collision Theory?
What are properties of acids?
The loss of electrons
What is oxidation?
The conversion of one element into another element
What is transmutation?
A molecular chain consisting of just carbon and hydrogen atoms
What is a hydrocarbon?
When the rate of a forward reaction is equal to the rate of its reverse reaction
What is equilibrium?
Typically used as cleaning products, slippery/soapy feeling, tastes bitter, pH greater than 7, conducts electricity, and neutralizes acids are all examples
What are properties of bases?
The gain of electrons
What is reduction?
An isotope of an element that undergoes decay, producing radiation in the process
What is a radioisotope?
The number of bonds a carbon atom always has
What is 4?
Nature of the reactants, concentration, temperature, pressure (for gases), surface area, and presence of a catalysts are all examples
What are factors that affect the rate of a reaction?
A substance that changes color when in different pH ranges
The positive electrode in a voltaic cell
What is the cathode?
The isotope used to identify the age of one-living material
What is carbon-14?
What is a functional group?
A measure of randomness or disorder
What is entropy?
A quantitative measure of acidity, found by taking the negative log of a solution's hydrogen ion concentration
What is the pH scale?
The electrode in a voltaic cell where oxidation occurs
What is the anode?
A reaction in which a large, unstable nucleus is bombarded with a neutron, causing it to split and release large amounts of energy
What is a nuclear fission?
The type of geometry present when carbon has only single bonds
What is tetrahedral?
A scientific principle that explains the way an equilibrium system will respond to a stress; for instance, if the stress is an increase in concentration, the system shifts away from the stress
What is LeChatelier's Principle?
A laboratory method where the concentration of a solution is calculated by measuring how much of a standard solution it takes to neutralize it
What is a titration?
The part of a voltaic cell that allows for the transfer of ions in order to balance charge and complete the circuit
What is the salt bridge?
An electron produced inside a nucleus as a result of a neutron spontaneously converting into a proton
What is a beta particle?
