1. The diffirence between atoms and molecules is that atoms are the smallest units of matter and can not be divided by chemical means. Molecules are made up of atoms of the same kind that are together in a group. The difference between covalent bonds and ionic bonds are that covalent bonds have 2 atoms sharing the same electron. Ionic bonds occur when an atom takes one electron away from another atom.
2. Adhesion and Cohesion differ because adhesion is when 2 substance of the same kind are joined together. Cohesion is when 2 substances of different types are bonded together. One example of adhesion is water molecules coming together through their polarity. One example of cohesion is water and salt mixing together to get saltwater.
3. Substances that will dissolve in water are polar objects like salt and sugar. Substances that can’t dissolve in water are nonpolar and some of them are oil, butter, and alcohol. Substances will dissolve in water because the poles of each substance attract to the opposite poles of water which causes them to bond together. Some substance will not dissolve in water because the substance is nonpolar and will not attract to the water molecules.
4. The Ph scale is a tool in science used solubility of a substance. An acid is a substance that will form hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Bases are substance that will produce hydroxide ions when dissolved. The number of the Ph scale represent how strong an acid is or . Examples of acids are stomach acids and lemo juice. Examples of bases are lye and soap.

    6. Something that is hydrophobic will not dissolve in water. Explain why it does not and give an example of a hydrophobic substance. Hydropobic substances will not dissolve/ dissocaite in water because they are nonionic, nonpolar, or cannot form hydrogen bonds for some other reason. A hydrophobic substance’s behavior results the wide-spreadness of relatively nonpolar bonds, which don’t bond well with water, a polar molecule and a hydrphilic substance. Nonpolar covalent bonds are all sharing electrons equally, so there are no positive or negative poles to create attraction. Some examples of hydrophobic substances include: oil, butter, tar, gasoline, and anything else oily or oil…

    IONIC bonds: form betw. two atoms when electrons are transferred from one atom to the other. Occurs when the electronegativities of the two atoms are very different and one atom has a much stronger pull on the electrons than the other atom. One atom gains electrons and has an overall negative charge and the other atom loses electrons and has an overall positive charge – these atoms are ions and the attraction of their opposite charges constitutes the ionic bond. (EX: NaCl)…

    Water molecules stick not only to other water molecules, but also to other polar chemical compounds. In doing so, water molecules can reduce the attraction between ions of opposite charges by as much as 80 times. Because water molecules interact with other water molecules and other polar molecules, water is able to dissolve nearly anything. Given enough time, water can dissolve more substances and in greater quantity than any other known substances. This is why water is called “the universal solvent.”…

    An __emulsifier__ is similar to glue because they can make chemically dissimilar liquids stick together and prevent them from separating. Emulsifiers are able to help chemically different liquids mix because they can interact with both polar and non-polar liquids because they have parts that are charged and parts that are not charged. Shampoos, soaps and detergents are examples of emulsifiers. The reason why they can clean things is because they prevent oil and water from separating so that the oil gets washed away with…

    An ionic bond is a bond that results from the attraction between oppositely charges ions; one atom "gives" another atom an electron. Combinations of metals and nonmetals typically form ionic bonds. A covalent bond is a bond that results from the sharing of pairs of electrons between two atoms. This kind of bond generally involves nonmetals. Both bonds, ionic and covalent, have properties that distinguish them. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points making them solid at room temperature. They are also soluble in polar solvents (such as water), have crystalline structures, and conduct electricity well. On the other hand, covalent compounds are usually liquid or gaseous at room temperature, resulting from their low melting and boiling points. They are poor conductors of electricity and are usually soluble in non-polar liquids (liquids other than water). If a substance is solid at room temperature, has a crystalline structure, dissolves easily in water, and conducts electricity well, then it likely contains ionic bonds. Otherwise, it likely contains covalent bonds. This was the hypothesis I posed at the beginning of the experiment.…

    While many thousands of substances are known, they can be classified into a few simple categories based on type of bonding that exists among the atoms in the substance. Bonds are chemical forces that hold atoms together to form molecules or compounds. These categories are ionic, molecular and metallic substances.…
