Relative Isotopic Mass

The mass of an atom of an isotope compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

1 of 35

Relative Atomic Mass

The weighted mean mass of an atom compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

2 of 35

Relative Molecular Mass

The weighted mean mass of a molecule compared with one-twelfth of the mass of carbon-12.

First Ionisation Energy

The energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms.

4 of 35

Electron Shielding

The repulsion between electrons in different inner shells.

(Shielding reduces the overall attractive force from the positive nucleus. )

5 of 35

Atomic Orbital

The region within an atom that can hold up to two electrons with opposite spins.

6 of 35

Ionic Bonding

Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged Ions.

(Bond between metal and non-metal)

7 of 35

Covalent Bond

A bond formed by a shared pair of electrons.

(Bond between non-metal and non-metal)

8 of 35

Dative/Coordinate Bond

Where the shared pair of electrons have both been donated by the same atom.

9 of 35

Electronegativity

A measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.

10 of 35

Permanent Dipole

A small charge difference across a bond as a result of the difference in electro negativities of the bonded atoms.

11 of 35

Polar Covalent Bond

Has a permanent dipole.

12 of 35

Polar Molecule

Has an overall dipole when you take into account any dipole which arises across the bonds.

13 of 35

Intermolecular Force

An attractive force between neighbouring molecules.

14 of 35

Permanent Dipole-Dipole Force

A weak attractive force between permanent dipoles on neighbouring molecules.

15 of 35

Van der Waals' Forces

Weak attractive forces between very small temporary dipoles in neighbouring molecules.

Giant Metallic Lattice

A 3-dimensional lattice of positive ions in a 'sea' of delocalised electrons and they are bonded together by strong metallic bonding.

17 of 35

Metallic Bonding

The electrostatic force of attraction between positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons.

18 of 35

Giant Covalent Lattice

A 3-dimensional lattice structure of atoms bonded together by strong covalent bonds.

19 of 35

Simple Covalent Lattice

A 3-dimensional structure of molecules bonded together by weak intermolecular forces.

Acid

A species which can donateproton, H+(aq).

21 of 35

Base

A species which can accept a protonH+(aq).

22 of 35

Alkali

A type of base which dissolves in water to give hydroxide ions, OH-(aq).

23 of 35

Mole

The amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12 isotope.

24 of 35

Molar Mass

The mass per mole of a substance. The units of molar mass are g mol^-1.

25 of 35

Empirical Formula

The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound.

26 of 35

Molecular Formula

The actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.

27 of 35

Molecule

A small group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.

28 of 35

Moles Equation

Moles of solute / Volume of solution (dm^3) = Concentration of Solution (mol dm^3)

29 of 35

Oxidation

LOSS of electrons

30 of 35

Reduction

GAIN of electrons

31 of 35

Redox Reaction

A reaction in which both oxidation and reduction take place.

32 of 35

Period

horizontal row of elements in the periodic table.

Elements show trends in properties across a period.

33 of 35

Group

vertical column in the periodic table.

Elements in a group have similar chemical properties as their atoms have the same number of outer shell electrons.

34 of 35

Disproportionation

The oxidation and reduction of the same element in a redox reaction.
