5 Steps to a 5 AP Chemistry

(coco) #1

 Bases are proton acceptors (electron-pair donors)


 Coordinate covalent bonds are covalent bonds in which one atom furnishes both of the


electrons for the bond.

 Strong acids and bases completely ionize/dissociate, and weak acids and bases only


partially ionize/dissociate.

 Know the strong acids and bases.


 Acids react with bases to form a salt and usually water in a neutralization reaction.


 Many hydrides react with water to form the hydroxide ion and hydrogen gas.


 A titration is a laboratory procedure for determining the concentration of an unknown


solution using a solution of known concentration.

 The equivalence point of an acid–base titration is the point at which the moles of


H+from the acid equals the moles of OH−from the base. The endpoint is the point at
which the indicator changes color, indicating the equivalence point.

 A complex ion is composed of a metal ion (Lewis acid) covalently bonded to two or more


molecules or anions called ligands (Lewis base).

 The coordination number (usually 2, 4, or 6) is the number of donor atoms that can


surround a metal ion in a complex.
