definitions C3

?
ion
charged atom
1 of 11
ionic bond
when a positive ion meets a negtive ion they'll be attracted and join together
2 of 11
covalent bond
when non-metal atoms combine together they form covalent bonds by sharing a pair of electrons; the bond is a shared pair, no atom loses electrons
3 of 11
exothermic reaction
gives out energy to the surroundings, in the form of heat, shown by a rise in temperature
4 of 11
endothermic reaction
takes in energy from surrounding, in form of heat, shown by fall in temperature
5 of 11
specific heat capacity
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1oc.
6 of 11
explosion
fast reaction that releases a lot of gaseous products
7 of 11
catalyst
increases speed of reaction, without being chemically changed or used up in reaction
8 of 11
atom economy
percentage of reactants changed to useful products
9 of 11
fullerenes
molecules of carbon, shaped like closed tubes or hollow balls.
10 of 11
nanotubes
tiny hollow carbon tubes
