Acid
Proton donator
1 of 22
Base
Proton acceptor
2 of 22
Salt
When the H- of an acid is replaced with a metal ions or an NH(4)+ ion.
3 of 22
Covalent bond
Shared pair of electrons, one electron from each atom.
4 of 22
Dative covalent bond
Shared pair of electrons, both electrons from one atom.
5 of 22
Polar covalent bond
Covalent bond between atoms with different electronegativities; bonded electron pair is closer to the more electronegative atom.
6 of 22
Ionic bond
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
7 of 22
Metallic bond
Attraction between positive ions and delocalised electrons.
8 of 22
Electronegativity
Attraction that a bonded atom has for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
9 of 22
Empirical formula
Whole number ratio of atoms in a molecule.
10 of 22
EPRT (Electro pair repulsion theory)
pairs of e-s repel; no. of e- pairs around the central atom determines the shape of the molecule.
11 of 22
Ionisation energy- 1st
Energy needed to remove one e- from each atom in a mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of 1+ ions.
12 of 22
Ionisation energy - 2nd
Energy need to remove one e- from 1+ ions in a mole of gaseous 1+ ions to form one mole of 2+ ions.
13 of 22
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element with the same no. of protons but different no. of neutrons in the nuclei.
14 of 22
Molecular formula
Actual no. of atoms of each element in a molecule.
15 of 22
Polar molecule
Has an overall dipole ie the electron density is not equally distributed resulting areas of low electron density , δ+ and areas of high electron density δ-.
16 of 22
Oxidisation
Loss of electrons.
17 of 22
Reduction
Gain electrons
18 of 22
Relative atomic mass
Weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of 12C.
19 of 22
Relative formula mass
Weighted mean mass of a formula unit compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of 12C.
20 of 22
Relative isotopic mass
Mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of 12C.
21 of 22
Relative molecular mass
Weighted mean mass of one molecule of a substance compared to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of 12C.
