What was the significance of the cathode ray experiment?
What is the discovery of negatively charged particles?
300
The study of the quantitative aspects of formulas and reactions is the definition for what word?
What is stoichiometry?
300
Alkali metals are located in which group?
What is Group 1A
300
When naming covalent bonds, do we use mono- on the first element if it only appears once. Eg) moncarbon monoxide
No. Mono- is the only prefix which isn't named on the first element.
400
What is theoretical and actual yield? How are they used in calculating percent yield?
What is the amount of product calculated from the molar ratio in the balanced equation (theoretical yield) and the amount of product actually obtained (actual yield)? They are used in calculating the percent yield by taking the actual yield and dividing by the theoretical yield and multiplying it by 100.
400
Who measured the ratio of the mass of a cathode ray particle to its charge?
Who is J. J. Thomson?
400
What is the definition of a chemical equation?
What is a statement that uses chemical formulas to express the identities and quantities of the substances involved in a chemical or physical change?
400
What is mass number and where is it located on an element within the periodic table
What is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It's symbol is A and is not located on the periodic table.
400
When naming acids with only an element, how would it be named?
It would begin with hydro___ic acid
500
When given an empirical formula, what steps are used to convert it into a molecular formula?
1. Determine the mass (g) of each component element 2. Convert each mass (g) to amount (mol) and write a preliminary formula 3. Convert the amounts (mol) mathematically to whole-number (integer) subscripts
500
What were the 4 postulates of Dalton's atomic theory?
1. All matter consists of atoms 2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element 3. Atoms of an element ar identical in mass and other properties and are different from atoms of any other element 4. Compounds result from the chemical combination of specific ratio of atoms of different elements
500
What is the word and definition for the simplest type of ionic compound?
What is binary ionic compound? It is defined as a compound composed of two elements.
500
What impact do isotopes have in calculating the atomic mass?
Elements often appear in various mass numbers, or isotopes. By calculating the factional abundance of each isotope and adding them together, we can calculate the atomic mass unit of a particular element.
500
When naming covelant bonds (ones with nonmetals), which one would come first?
The one that is least electronegitive to the one that is most electronegative. In other words, the one that can give the most electrons comes first.
