can be observed or measured without changing the chemical identity of the substance. Physical properties can be categorized as either intensive or extensive. Reactivity: An element or compound’s reactivity is its ability or capacity to react‚ or bond‚ with another substance. As you continue through this course‚ you will observe and compare this particular chemical property in a variety of scenarios. Flammability: One type of chemical reaction‚ called combustion‚ involves the burning of various

was recorded with the highest concentration of hydrogen ions‚ and tied with ‘Woolworths’ when left standing with the lid removed. These results were observed because when refrigerated the gas molecules in the soda water slow down and the bond between hydrogen ions becomes strong‚ enabling carbon dioxide to be released (Frederick‚ n.d.). Whereas when the soda water was warm or room temperature‚ the gas molecules inside it where active and broke the bonds of the H2O chain‚ which in turn released more

positively charged nitrogen from nitric acid attaching it to the molecule. The nitrogen’s electrons are then kicked off on to the oxygen bearing a positive charge‚ creating water. This process formed an organic nitrate. Next‚ water is used to abstract hydrogen from the positively charged oxygen‚ forming hydronium. A carbonyl is formed as well as nitrogen dioxide gas. Simultaneously the oxygen separates itself from nitrogen dioxide by pushing its electrons onto the positively charged nitrogen. This forms

also accounted for; we could test a number of well-known fuels (provided by the school) and contemplate their bonding attributes and components which they are composed of (all fuels are compounds‚ so they are made up of number of hydrocarbons‚ thus bonds are customary during combustion). The main emphasis of this experiment is to identify not only the energy potential emitted by the fuels in a given amount of time‚ but also to discover how and most importantly why every fuel releases the amount of

Other atoms may include oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ sulfur…etc. They can be found in nature‚ since “organic” means present in‚ or derived from‚ plants and animals

hydride reagent such a NaBH4 or LiAlH4. The hydrogen is more electronegative than boron and aluminum giving it a negative charge. This causes the hydrogen to act like a hydride. This is important because it causes it causes it to be selective. A hydride has a negative charge so it will attack the positive carbon in a carbonyl group. This makes it more useful in synthesis reactions because if a molecule has a carbonyl group and carbon-carbon double bond‚ it will only attack the polar carbonyl group

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Classically‚ chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms‚ with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present)‚ and can often be described by a chemical equation. Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive
