Term
Heterogenous mixture
Definition
composition not uniform; different types of particles visually discernable
Term
Homogeneous mixture
Definition
composition uniform; particles only distinguishable at nano-scale
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
transfer of electons (e.g. NaCl)
Term
Covalent Bond
Definition
Sharing of electrons (e.g. H2O)
Term
Chemical change
Definition
involes chemical properties (e.g. rust)
Term
Physical change
Definition
involves only physical, constant properties (e.g. carving wood)
Term
Water is liquid at room temperature because of…
Definition
extensive hydrogen bonding between water molecules
Term
Le Chatelier's Principle
Definition
If a system is at equilibrium and is disturbed, it will adjust to reestablish a new equilibrium position. For chemical reactions, this implies that the concentrations of reactants and products will change so that a new equilibrium is established.
Term
Ionic Bond
Definition
Ionic bonds are interactions that result from the electrostatic interactions of positive and negative ions that result from the transfer of electrons.
Term
Hydrogen Bond
Definition
Intermolecular forces that exist between molecules that have H bonded to N, O, or F.
Term
Basal Metabolic Rate
Definition
How much energy is required to keep your body going
Term
Neutralization Reaction
Definition
Reaction that occurs between an acid and a base and which usually results in the formation of water and a salt
Term
How does a buffer work?
Definition
When acid is added, CO32- will react to form HCO3-. Whan base is added, HCO3- will react to for CO32-.
Term
What is chemistry?
Definition
Study of matter/changes it can undergo
Term
Two things that drive chemical reactions
Definition
Energy and entropy
