    paper to become red and becomes less acidic when mixed with a base is? Acid
  23. Mixture of 2 or more metals are?
    Alloys
  1. Base?
  • A Hydrogen or proton ACCEPTOR & has hydroxide group in the makeup of the
    molecule
  • Produce -OH
  • Bitter, slippery, conduct electricity, formulas contain -OH
  • pH value greater than 7.0
  • Proton acceptor
  1. Key note:
    Acids are Proton donors as Bases are proton acceptors

  9. What is chemical bonding?
    The joining of atoms to form new substances. 2 types: ionic & covalent bonding
  10. What is a Ionic bond?
  • Electrical attraction between 2 oppositely charged atoms groups of atoms called ions
  • (between metals & nonmetals)
  1. Ionic bonding?
    Chemical bond that’s formed when an atom transfers a electron to another atom. (steals)
