3
Polar Molecule
molecule with uneven charge

4
Donate H+
________ when pH goes up and accept H+ when pH goes down.
New cards
5
Polar Molecule
molecule with uneven charge
New cards
6
Adhesion
water molecules stick to solid surfaces graduated cylinder
New cards
7
Cohesion
water molecules stick to other other water molecules
New cards
8
Capillary action
when water molecules move upward through narrow tubes
New cards
9
pH
a scale used to determine if an aqueous solution is an acid or a base (H+) (OH-) In pure water same amount
New cards
10
Acid
donate H+ to solution
New cards
11
Hydrocarbons
Molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen
New cards
12
Isomer
Molecules with the same molecular formulas but different structural formulas
New cards
13
3 types of isomers are
structural, geometric, enantiomers
New cards
14
Structural isomers
Differ in the covalent arrangement of their atoms
New cards
15
Geometric isomers
Covalent partnerships of atoms are the same, but differ in their special arrangement
New cards
16
Enantiomers
Also called stereoisomers
New cards
17
Adhesion
water molecules stick to solid surfaces. Ex. graduated cylinder
New cards
18
Cohesion
water molecules stick to other water molecules
New cards
19
Capillary action

20
pH
a scale used to determine if an aqueous solution is an acid or a base. In pure water same amount of H+ and OH-
New cards
21
Acid
donate H+ to solution
New cards
22
Base
substance that donates OH- or accept H+ to a solution, sometimes called alkaline. Examples : bleach, ammonia
New cards
23
Buffers
Substances that minimize concentrations of H+ and OH- in a solution. Donate H+ when pH goes up and accept H+ when pH goes down.
New cards
24
Organic Chemistry
Study of carbon based molecules
New cards
25
Hydrocarbons
