Avogadro's number
Number of atoms in 12g of carbon-12
1 of 29
Mole
The amount of substance which contains the Avogadro number of atoms, molecules or groups of atoms
2 of 29
Molar mass
Mass of one mole of a substance
3 of 29
Anhydrous (salt)
A salt which contains no water of crystallisation
4 of 29
Hydrated (salt)
A salt which contains no water of crystallisation
5 of 29
Water of crystallisation
Water chemically bonded within a crystal structure
6 of 29
Atomic number
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
7 of 29
Mass number
The total number of protons and neutron in the nucleus of an atom
8 of 29
Relative atomic/molecular/isotopic mass
The average mass of an atom/molecule/isotope of an element relative to one twelfth of an atom of carbon-12
9 of 29
Isotope
Atoms which have the same atomic number but a different mass number
10 of 29
Molecular ion
An ion formed by the removal of an electron from a molecule
11 of 29
First ionisation energy
energy The energy required to convert one mole of gaseous atoms into gaseous ions with a single positive charge.
12 of 29
Second ionisation energy
energy The energy required to convert one mole of gaseous atoms into gaseous ions with a single positive charge.
13 of 29
Third ionisation energy
The energy required to convert one mole of gaseous ions with a double positive charge into gaseous ions with a triple positive charge
14 of 29
Ground state
An electronic configuration in which all the electrons are in the lowest (available) energy levels.
15 of 29
Covalent bond
A shared pair of elections between two atoms. Each atom provides one electron
16 of 29
Octet rule
When forming a compound, an atom tends to gain, lose or share electrons to achieve eight in its outer shell.
17 of 29
Coordinate (dative) bond
A shared pair of electrons between two atoms. One atom provides both electrons
18 of 29
Delocalised electrons
When forming a compound, an atom tends to gain, lose or share electrons to achieve eight in its outer shell.
19 of 29
Electronegativity
The extent to which an atom attracts the bonding electrons in a covalent bond.
20 of 29
Polar bond
A covalent bond in which there is unequal sharing of the bonding electrons.
21 of 29
Bonding pair
A pair of electrons shared between two atoms
22 of 29
Lone pair
A pair of unshared electrons in the outer shell of an atom.
23 of 29
Intermolecular
Between neighbouring molecules (as opposed to intramolecular).
24 of 29
Oxidation
Loss of electrons/Increase in oxidation state (number).
25 of 29
Reduction
Loss of electrons/Increase in oxidation state (number).
26 of 29
Redox
Oxidation and reduction occur in the same reaction.
27 of 29
Bond Enthalpy
The energy required to break one mole of a specific bond
28 of 29
Dispropotionation
Oxidation and reduction of the same species in the same reaction.
