The minimum energy needed to start off a reaction
Activation energy
1 of 22
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table e.g. Lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K)
Alkali metal
2 of 22
The historical term that was used before relative atomic masses were defined in the 20th century
Atomic weight
3 of 22
The energy needed to break a particular chemical bond
Bond energy
4 of 22
A long glass tube with a tap at one end and markings to show volumes of liquid, used to add precisely known amounts of liquid to a solution in a conical flask below it
Burette
5 of 22
The point in a titration where the reaction is complete and titration should stop
End point
6 of 22
An atom or group of atoms that give organic compounds their characteristic reactions
Functional group
7 of 22
Water in which it is difficult to form a lather with soap. It contains calcium and/or magnesium ions which react with the soap to produce scum
Hard water
8 of 22
A group of related organic compounds that have the same functional group, e.g. the molecules of the homologous series of alcohols all contain the –OH group
Homologous series
9 of 22
A water softener which works by replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium or hydrogen ions, removing the hardness
ion exchange column
10 of 22
An arrangement of elements in order of their atomic numbers, forming groups and periods
Periodic table
11 of 22
Hard water whose calcium and/or magnesium ions are not removed when the water is boiled, thus remaining hard
Permanent hard water
12 of 22
A glass tube used to measure accurate volumes of liquids
Pipette
13 of 22
The insoluble substance formed when temporary hard water is boiled
Scale
14 of 22
The precipitate formed when soap reacts with calcium and/or magnesium ions in hard water
Scum
15 of 22
A cleaning agent that does not produce scum when used with hard water
Soapless detergent
16 of 22
Water containing no dissolved calcium and/or magnesium salts, so it easily forms a lather with soap
Soft water
17 of 22
Acids that ionise completely in aqueous solutions
Strong acid
18 of 22
Hard water which is softened when it is boiled
Temporary hard water
19 of 22
A method for measuring the volumes of two solutions that react together
Titration
20 of 22
Element from the central block of the periodic table. It has typical metallic properties and forms a coloured compound
Transition element
21 of 22
Acids that do not ionise completely in aqueous solutions
Weak acids
22 of 22
