Light Water Heavy Water Tritiated Water Heavy water is used in nuclear reactors as moderator and coolant. India is the largest producer of Heavy Water in the world. Metals lose electrons Non-metals either gain electrons, or exist as noble gases Every atom has tendency to fill its outermost orbit with 8 electrons Metalloids are between metals and non-metals. Examples: Si and Ge Property pH Physical nature
Acid Less than 7.0. Taste sour. depends on concentration of Strength H+ ions Phenolphthalein remains colorless Other Electrolytes, conduct Properties electricity Acids free hydrogen ions (H+) Dissociation when mixed with water. Made of Oxides of non-metals Examples Acetic acid, Sulfuric acid Acids change litmus paper Litmus test red.
pH + pOH = 14 Acids + Base = Salt + Water
Base Greater than 7.0 Bases feel slippery. Taste bitter. depends on concentration of OHMakes it pink Electrolytes, conduct electricity Bases free hydroxide ions (OH-) when mixed with water. Oxides of metals Sodium Hydroxide, Ammonia Bases change litmus paper blue.
Oxydation: Loss of electrons Reduction: Gain of electrons
