hypotonic solution
|
solution with:
higher concentration of water, lower concentration of solute |
|
isotonic solution
|
solution with:
equal concentration of water, equal concentration of solute |
|
hypertonic solution
|
solution with:
lower concentration of water, higher concentration of solute |
|
osmosis
|
the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration of water to and area of low concentration of water
|
|
allotrope
|
two nature-existing forms (structures) of the same element
ex: diamond and graphite |
|
ionic bond
|
electrostatic attraction between two oppositely-charged ions
metal + non-metal |
|
covalent bond
|
two oppositely-charged ions sharing electrons
non-metal + non-metal |
|
formula unit
|
unit of ionic bond
|
|
molecule
|
unit of covalent bond
|
|
isotopes
|
atoms with same number of protons, different number of neutrons
|
|
orbit
|
the path that an electron follows as it moves around the nucleus
|
|
orbital
|
the probability of finding electrons in certain regions of an atom
|
|
electron spin
|
how an electron turns (clockwise/counterclockwise) in order to create an energy field
|
|
electron configuration
|
distribution of electrons among the orbitals of an atom
|
|
Hund's Rule
|
electrons occupy equal energy orbitals so that a maximum number of unpaired electrons results
|
|
Pauli Exclusion Principle
|
an orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, which must spin in opposite directions
|
|
Aufbau Principle
|
electrons are added one at a time to the lowest energy orbitals available until all electrons are accounted for
|
|
orbital diagram
|
representation of an atom in which arrows in boxes show the electron configuration of an atom
|
|
static equilibrium
|
numbers don't change
indivdual things don't change |
|
dynamic equilibrium
|
numbers don't change
individual things do change |
|
Keq
|
equilibrium constant: ratio between products and reactants
|
|
Q
|
reaction quotient: ratio between products and reactants not measured at equilibrium
|
|
chemical equilibrium
|
state at which the amounts of reactants and products are constant, because the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
|
|
Keq remains constant...
|
...as long as temperature does not change
|
|
Q < Keq
|
reaction will proceed in forward direction
|
|
Q > Keq
|
reaction will proceed in reverse direction
|
|
Arrhenius acids
|
form hydronium ions (H3O+) in water
|
|
Arrhenius bases
|
form hydroxide ions (OH-) in water
|
|
Bronsted-Lowry acids
|
proton donors
|
|
Bronsted-Lowry bases
|
proton acceptors
|
|
amphiprotic/amphoteric substance
|
substance that can act as both an acid and a base
(ex: H2O) |
