A type of base that dissolves in water forming hydroxide ions, OH–(aq) ions.
2 of 23
amount of substance
The quantity whose unit is the mole. Chemists use ‘amount of substance’ as a means of counting atoms.
3 of 23
anhydrous
A substance that contains no water molecules.
4 of 23
anion
A negatively charged ion.
5 of 23
Avogadro constant, NA
The number of atoms per mole of the carbon-12 isotope
6 of 23
base
A species that is a proton acceptor.
7 of 23
compound
A substance formed from two or more chemically bonded elements in a fixed ratio, usually shown by a chemical formula
8 of 23
concentration
The amount of solute, in mol, per 1 dm3 (1000 cm3) of solution.
9 of 23
hydrated
Crystalline and containing water molecules.
10 of 23
ion
A positively or negatively charge atom or (covalently bonded) group of atoms (a molecular ion).
11 of 23
molar mass, M
The mass of 1 mole of a substance. The units of molar mass are g mol–1.
12 of 23
mole
The amount of any substance containing as many particles as there are carbon atoms in exactly 12 g of the carbon-12 isotope.
13 of 23
molecular formula
The number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
14 of 23
relative atomic mass, Ar
The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
15 of 23
relative formula mass
The weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
16 of 23
relative molecular mass, Mr
The weighted mean mass of a molecule compared with one-twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
17 of 23
Salt
A chemical compound formed from an acid, when a H+ ion from the acid has been replaced by a metal ion or another positive ion, such as the ammonium ion, NH4+.
18 of 23
species
Any type of particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.
19 of 23
spectator ions
Ions that are present but take no part in a chemical reaction.
20 of 23
standard solution
A solution of known concentration. Standard solutions are normally used in titrations to determine unknown information about another substance.
21 of 23
stoichiometry
The molar relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction.
22 of 23
water of crystallisation
Water molecules that form an essential part of the crystalline structure of a compound.
