Explain the difference between an atom and an ion.

<p>An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element and consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, while an ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, giving it a net electric charge.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Define the pH scale and its range.

<p>The pH scale is a measure of the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic, 14 being the most basic, and 7 being neutral.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Acids and Bases

  • The pH of bases is greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-).
  • Neutralization reaction: Acid (HCl) + Base (NaOH) → Salt (NaCl) + Water (H2O)

Combustion

  • Complete combustion: A combustion reaction that produces only carbon dioxide and water as products, with no leftover fuel.
  • Incomplete combustion: A combustion reaction that produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water as products, with leftover fuel.

Physical Properties

  • Qualitative physical properties: Characteristics of a substance that can be observed and described, such as color, odor, and texture.

Ions

  • Polyatomic ion: A group of atoms bonded together with a net electric charge, such as sulfate (SO42-).

Elements and Compounds

  • Element: A substance that consists of only one type of atom, such as hydrogen (H) or carbon (C).
  • Compound: A substance that consists of two or more different elements, such as water (H2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • Example: Hydrogen (H) is an element, while water (H2O) is a compound.

Atoms and Ions

  • Atom: A tiny particle that consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and is the building block of matter.
  • Ion: An atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electric charge.

pH Scale

  • pH scale: A scale that measures the acidity or basicity of a solution, ranging from 0 to 14.
  • pH range: Acidic (pH 0-7), Neutral (pH 7), and Basic (pH 7-14).

Acids and Bases

  • Acids: Substances that donate a hydrogen ion (H+), increasing the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
  • Bases: Substances that accept a hydrogen ion (H+), decreasing the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
