Hydrogen ion

The positive Na+ ions were attracted to the oxygen (negative) end of the water molecules, and the negative Cl- ions were attracted to the hydrogen (positive) end of the water molecules. As an end result, the ionic bond between the sodium and the chloride was broken. CuSO4(s) ⇔ Cu+2(aq) + SO4-2(aq) Like the sodium chloride, the copper sulphate was split into its individual ionic components. The positive Cu+2 ions were attracted to the oxygen (negative) end of the…

Intermolecular Forces Intermolecular forces are the result of attractive or repulsive forces between atoms, molecules or ions, primarily as a result of electrostatic attractions; these forces act between discrete molecules. Intermolecular forces are weak forces but without them life as we know it would not be possible: water vapor would not condense into its liquid (or solid forms) if its molecules did not attract each other, and all matter, in fact, would exist as gases. The physical states…

am hoping to solve is why are they so helpful. Why are they so important to the human body. The definition of an electrolyte is “any fluid that conducts electricity, such as this new saltwater solution, is known as an electrolyte solution; the salt ions of which it’s composed are then commonly referred to as electrolytes”(Nate Morrow 2012 pg 1). “There are several common electrolytes found in the body, each serving a specific and important role, but most are in some part responsible for…

chemical and physical properties but also what the unknown compound might react with to form other compounds. After performing the four anion tests, a positive identification was able to be made showing that the unknown compound contained a chloride ion since a white precipitate was formed from the reaction (Table 1). The sulfate, nitrate, and carbonate tests all yielded negative results when no precipitate was formed. The reaction of the chloride anion is as follows: Cl- + AgNO3 -->…

Tritium, which are all Hydrogen atoms. Instead of the zero neutrons Hydrogen has in its Protium form, Deuterium and Tritium have two and three neutrons respectively. This change in neutron number and therefore atomic weight classify these atoms as isotopes of the element Hydrogen. An ion is an atom with a charge due to changes in the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) in the atom. Ions that have lost electrons have a positive charge, and are called cations. Ions that have gained…

results for the sulfate test due to the formation of a white precipitate, indicating the presence of a sulfate ion. For the sulfate test the unknown solution, potassium sulfate, and combining it with hydrochloric acid and barium chloride. If a sulfate anion was present in the unknown solution, then the anion would combine with the barium and form the precipitate, BaSO4, and the chlorine ion would combine with the unknown’s cation. In this case a sulfate anion was present in the unknown so the…

it unevenly distributed between hydrogen and oxygen. 10. An ion is a molecule or atom that gets either a negative or positive charge as a result of it losing or gaining one or more of its valence electrons. An ionic bond has an electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions in an ionic compound which affects the chemical link between two atoms. An ionic bond is formed when an electron is essentially transferred from one atom of a pair to the other creating ions. A sodium atom transfers…

dependant and creates variable charges. These are created from the dissociation of the hydrogen ion in organic matter, and hydrogen ions being added and removed of the alcohol (OH) group on mineral surfaces. The amounts of charge changes due to the pH, as the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions determine the pH. This relates to soil solution acidity. How acidic the soil is shown by the concentration of hydrogen ion there are within the solution. Therefore, the higher concentration of…

Ligands have one electron pair to donate to a metal atom and are called complex agents. • Metal atoms are Lewis acids because they can accept pairs of electrons from Lewis bases. • Within a ligand, the atom that is directly bonded to the metal atom/ion is called the donor atom. • A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom (i.e., the donor atom) gives both electrons. This type of bonding is different from a normal covalent bond in which each atom supplies one electron. • If…

attraction forces are between atoms or molecules. From the strongest to the weakest, the four types of intermolecular forces used in a molecule that can affect the boiling/melting points of a solid or liquid are London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds. The first and weakest of the intermolecular forces that can affect the boiling/melting points of an element or chemical is the London dispersion force. These forces, proposed by Fritz London, were caused by the…
