Definition of Orbitals
A region of space that holds upto 2 electrons, with opposite spins.

Definition of Isotopes
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons which differing the mass.

Definition of Relative Atomic Mass
The weighted average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12
3 of 26
Definition of Relative Isotopic Mass
The average mass of an atom of an isotope compared to to 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12
4 of 26
Definition of Relative Formula Mass
The average mass of a formula of a substance compared to to 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12
5 of 26
Definition of Relative Molecular Mass
The average mass of a molecule of a substance compared to to 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12
6 of 26
Mole
Mole is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12
7 of 26
Empirical Formula
The simplest whole number ratio of all the atoms of each element in a compund
8 of 26
Acid
A compound that releases H+ ions in aqueous solutions.
9 of 26
Neutralisation
A Chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to produce a salt AND water.
10 of 26
Salt
A compound formed when the H+ ion from an is replaced by a metal ion or an ammonium ion.
11 of 26
Base
A proton acceptor
12 of 26
Alkali
A water-soluble base which releases OH- ions in aqueous solutions.
13 of 26
Spectator ions
ions that do not participate in reactions
14 of 26
Molar gas Volume
Volume per mole of gas molecules at a stated temperature and pressure.
15 of 26
First Ionisation energy
The first ionisation energy of an element is the energy needed to remove one electron from each atom in a mole of gaseous atoms of an element
16 of 26
Second Ionisation energy
Second Ionistaion energy is the energy required to remove one electron from each ion in one mole of gaseous 1+ ions of an element to form one mole of gaseous 2+ ions.
17 of 26
Ionic Bonding
Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions.
18 of 26
Giant Ionic lattice
A regular array of alternating positive and negative ions.
19 of 26
Covalent Bond
Electrostatic attraction between the shared pair of bonding electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
20 of 26
Dative Covalent bond
A covalent bond formed when the shared pair of electrons are provided by one of the atoms forming the bond.
21 of 26
Lone Pair
Outer shell electrons not involved in bonding form pairs in the same orbital which are very important for shape of molecules.
22 of 26
Electron Pair repulsion theory
States that the electron pairs in the outer shell of the central atoms in a molecule repel each other and therefore arrange themselves to be as far away from each other as possible.
23 of 26
Electronegativity
relative ability of an atom to attract the bonding pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
24 of 26
Metallic bonding
attraction between negative charged delocalised electrons, adjacent positive charged metal nuclei
25 of 26
Volatility
Ease of vaporisation
