A substance formed from two or more chemically bonded elements in a fixed ratio, usually shown by a chemical formula
1 of 10
electron shielding
The repulsion between electrons in different inner shells. Shielding reduces the net attractive force from the positive nucleus on the outer-shell electrons.
2 of 10
empirical formula
The simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound.
3 of 10
group
A vertical column in the Periodic Table. Elements in a group have similar chemical properties and their atoms have the same number of outer shell electrons.
4 of 10
hydrolysis
A reaction with water or aqueous hydroxide ions that breaks a chemical compound into two compounds.
5 of 10
molar volume
The volume per mole of a gas. The units of molar volume are dm3 mol–1. At room temperature and pressure the molar volume is approximately 24.0 dm3 mol–1.
6 of 10
oxidation
Loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation number.
7 of 10
oxidation number
A measure of the number of electrons that an atom uses to bond with atoms of another element. Oxidation numbers are derived from a set of rules.
8 of 10
redox reaction
A reaction in which both reduction and oxidation take place.
9 of 10
thermal decomposition
The breaking up of a chemical substance with heat into at least two chemical substances.
