Mid-term Study guide

These are some of the definitions that are on the test. There is nothing on lab safety, metrics, graphing, atomic structure, bohr model. Hope that this helps you!!!!!

Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
combustion
Occurs when there is a rapid exothermic combination of substances with oxygen. Fuel+o2+Heat.
isotopes
atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
neutrons
a neutral charged particle found in the nucleus
Cation
positively charged particles
Precipitant
insoluble solid that forms when the solutions are mixed together
Hydrogen (H2)
A colorless gas that will explode in the presence of fire or a spark if oxygen is present
Acetylene (C2H2)
a colorless odorless gas that will burn when oxygen is present
Ions
charged particles
ions
what happens when atoms gain or lose electrons that creates an imbalance of charges due to an uneven number of protons and electrons
decompostion
: Occurs when chemical bonds are broken due to heat of light, large compounds will break down into smaller compounds or elements
what makes hydrogen peroxide decompose?
light
Effervescence
gas which is produced during a chemical reaction. Causes bubbles to be formed
Chemical reaction
causes bonds between atoms to form new bonds and new chemicals
catalyst
a chemical that changes the rate of reaction by making it go faster. The catalyst does not take part in the reaction and it is still present when the reaction in complete. Provides convenient surface area where they or the reactants collide
Bases
Tastes bitter, CO3 and OH donars
Acids
hydrogen Ion donars
endothermic
Where energy is absorbed. The products temperature is colder than the reactants.
Factors that can enhance a chemical reaction
Increase in temp of reactants Increase surface area of reactants Increase of concentration of reactants Adding a catalyst
Carbon dioxide (Co3)
a colorless odorless gas that does not aid in combustion. A burning flame will go out
electrons
a negatively charged particle that does not move in fixed paths around the nucleus
displacement
Occurs when an element of chemical group breaks the bond of another chemical group or element making a product or products
Oxygen (O2)
a colorless odorless gas that will make a flame burn brighter and faster. Has the capacity of making a burning ember burst back into flame A gas which is required for combustion
bonds
something formed to make atoms more stable
protons
a positively charged particle found in the nucleus
Four indicators of a chemical Reaction
New chemicals are formed, Change of color/ that is different than reactants, Energy is released or absorbed,Light can be produced
reactants
The chemicals that start the chemical reaction
Products
what is being produced
molecules
a pure substance made of two or more atoms chemically bonded that is the smallest particle of a compound
isotopes
the mass when you add the protons and neutrons
exothermic
When the chemical reaction releases heat. Products become warmer than reactants.
compounds
pure substances that are made of two or more elements chemically combined that can be broken down to simpler substances by heating and electric energy
Anion
Negatively charged particles
