Exam 4-6 Review

Front

What is a saturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution is one that contains the absolute maximum amount of solute possible at a given temperature and pressure.

Front

What type of bonding is present in potassium bromide (KBr)?

Back

Ionic bonding with electron transfer.

Front

Which intermolecular forces have the strongest attraction?

Back

Hydrogen Bonds.

Front

Why are metals malleable?

Back

Metals are malleable because the electrons are delocalized and able to move between the atoms.

Front

What are ionic compounds made of?

Back

Ionic compounds are made of metals and nonmetals.

Front

What is the definition of ionic bonding?

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions, formed by the transfer of electrons.

Front

What is the difference between a saturated and a supersaturated solution?

Back

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve, while a supersaturated solution contains more solute than can normally dissolve at that temperature.

Front

What is the significance of delocalized electrons in metals?

Back

Delocalized electrons allow metals to conduct electricity and heat, and contribute to their malleability.

Front

What are the properties of ionic compounds in solid form?

Back

Ionic compounds are typically hard, brittle, and have high melting and boiling points.

Front

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in water?

Back

Hydrogen bonds give water its unique properties, such as high surface tension and the ability to dissolve many substances.
