Chemistry AS F321 Definition

Definitions you need to know for the F321 exam :)

?
Acid
Species that is a proton donor
1 of 21
alkali
Type of base that dissolves in water to form OH- ions
2 of 21
anhydrous
Substance containing no water molecules
3 of 21
Atomic orbital
Region within an atom that can hold up to two electrons
4 of 21
Avogadro's Constant
number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope (6.02x10^23)
5 of 21
Base
Proton acceptor
6 of 21
Covalent bond
bond formed from a shared pair of electrons
7 of 21
Electronegativity
Measure of the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond
8 of 21
Group
vertical column in periodic table. Elements in the same group have similar properties and the same number of outer electrons
9 of 21
Hydrated
Water of crystallisation
10 of 21
Ion
postively or negatively charged atom or group of atoms
11 of 21
Ionic Bond
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
12 of 21
First ionisation energy
Energy required to remove one electron from each atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous 1+ ions
13 of 21
Isotopes
Same element, different number of neutrons
14 of 21
Metallic Bond
electrostatic attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons
15 of 21
Oxidation
Loss of electrons or increase in oxidation number
16 of 21
Periodicity
regular periodic variation of properties of elements with atomic number and position in the periodic table
17 of 21
Relative atomic mass (same for isotopic/molecular just swap words over)
Weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one twelth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
18 of 21
Salt
H+ ion from an acid has been replaced with a metal or positive ion
19 of 21
Sub Shell
group of the same type of atomic orbitals within a shell
20 of 21
van der Waals' forces
Weak attractions between induced dipoles in neighbouring molecules
21 of 21
