This subatomic particle carries no charge and is found in the nucleus of the atom.
What is a neutron?
This reaction occurs when a single compound breaks down into its constituent elements.
What is a decomposition reaction?
What is pH?
Avogadro's number
What is 6.022 x 1023?
A group 2 (IIA) metal that is biologically important for the building of bones and shells as well as muscle function.
What is calcium?
This subatomic particle carries a negative charge and can behave as both a wave and a particle.
What is an electron?
This is a reaction where two compounds react by swapping cations and results in a precipitate or the evolution of a gas.
What is a double replacement reaction?
These are the products of a neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base.
What are salt and water?
The SI unit for amount of substance
What is a mole?
The ionized version of fluorine.
What is fluoride?
Two or more atoms joined together in a chemical bond.
What is a molecule or compound?
This is the part of a redox reaction that results in the loss of electrons for a particular element involved in the reaction. The valence number goes up.
What is oxidation?
These are the products of the dissociation of water.
What are hydroxide and hydronium (or hydrogen ion)?
A prefix that means 1/1000th of a unit.
What is milli?
They have the same number of protons but vary in the number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
What is the electron configuration of sodium?
This is the part of a redox reaction that results in a gain of electrons for a particular element involved in the reaction. The valence number goes down.
What is reduction?
This definition of acids and bases expanded the definition to include proton donors as acids and proton acceptors as bases.
What is the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases?
The number 0.08569147 to three significant figures in scientific notation.
What is 8.57 x 10-2?
A diatomic non-metal that exists as a gas at STP and is toxic to living organisms but as an anion, can be safely ingested in the form of table salt.
What is chlorine?
What are the four suborbitals that electrons can fill?
This reaction occurs at the cathode in an voltaic cell.
What is reduction?
This is a solution that resists changes in pH.
What is a buffer?
What is mass divided by volume?
What is silicon?
