Back
ion dipole forces
Front
- relatively stron electro static attractions between ions and polar molecules
- causes the dissolution of the ionic solids in polar solvents such as water
Back
combination (synthesis) reactions
Front
-two or more elements form one product
- simple compounds combine to form one product
Back

Front
- the mass of 1 mole of an element
- the average atomic mass expressed in grams

To write a chemical reaction
Front
reactant 1 + reactant 2--> product 1 + product 2
starting material vs finishing material
Back
polar covalent bonds
Front
non metal atoms, unequal sharing of electrons, moderate electronegativity
Back
molar mass conversion factors
Front
- are fractions ( ratios) written from the molar mass
- relate grams and moles of an element or compound

equal bond electron sharing
Front
nonpolar bond unequal sharing of electrons = polar bond
Back
electronegativity
Front
of an atom is it's ability to attract the shared electrons in a bond
- increases from left to right ( bottom to top)
- low for metals
- high for non metals
Back
non polar covalent bonds
Front
2 non metals, equal sharing, small electronegativity
Back
electronegativity numbers
Front
0-0.4 --> non polar
0.5-1.8--> polar
greater than 1.8-> ionic
Back
single replacement reaction
Front
one element takes the place of a different element in another reacting compound
Back
double replacement reaction
Front
both ions in the reactant compounds switch places
Back
chemical reaction
Front
occurs when a substance is converted into one or more substances with different formulas and different properties
Back
subscripts in a formula
Front
- show the relationship of atoms in the formula
- the moles of each element in 1 mole of a compound
Back
decomposition reaction
Front
- one substance splits ( or decomposes) into two or more simpler substances
Back
in a balanced equation
Front
- no atoms are lost or created ( conservation of matter)
- the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side
Back
VSEPR theory
Front
-describes the orientation of electron groups around the central atom
- states that electron groups are arranged as far apart as possible around the central atom to minimize the repulsion between them
- states that the specific shape of a molecule is determined by the number of atoms attached to the central atom
Back
double bond
Front
atoms share 2 pairs of electrons
Back
combustion reaction
Front
- carbon- hydrogen containing compound burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide ( CO2) and water (H2O)
- energy is released as a product in the form of heat
